Bluetooth usage in file-sharing has long been outdated. WiFi-based file-sharing systems have been in use since the beginning of Android. While SHAREit retains its exclusive dominance, many have recently begun to search for its alternative app. At present, you will find several alternative file-sharing apps with advanced features like SHAREit.
In this post you will be introduced to SHAREit's alternative apps.
- MI Drop
Xiaomi released their own MIU3 release as well as its own file-sharing app called Mi Drop. It is installed on a MiUI / MIUI powered Xiaomi phone. The app is also available for free on the Google Play Store, which you can use on all Android phones of all brands. This app does not display any ads - at least not yet. Its user interface is very simple. The app itself is very small. In addition to sharing any type of file over WiFi, you can set your phone as an FTP server and transfer files from the storage of the phone to a PC or with a PC on the WiFi network.
- Zapya
It's a very old file-sharing app. This app works with WiFi in the same way as the SHAREit does. As it's a Cross-platform app, you can use it on Macs, Windows PCs, and phones also. It has some interesting features including storage cloning and offline chat. There is also a group sharing feature to share with many at once. So far, no ads have come into it. It also has a lightweight edition known for low-end phones called Zapya Go.

- Google Files
Google has come to lightweight editions of several of its apps under Android Go Edition. Files by Google app is installed by default on Android Go based phones.
