Method 2: By Using SnapDrop

The second method by which we can send files between Mobile and TV is by using https://snapdrop.net/. It’s the simplest method of sharing files between your Android phone and your Android TV. Since it’s a web app, you don’t have to go through the process of installing it and then clicking next. But the only requirement is that the TV and the smartphone be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 1: Simply take out your Android phone, go to the Chrome browser, and then open snapdrop.net.

Over here, you’ll see the website that looks like a receiving hotspot icon and the icon you’ll name your device with. By the way, the device name is different every time you load up the website.

Step 2: Go to your Android TV and go to the Chrome browser (you can choose any browser, by the way), and open snapdrop.net.

You’ll see an Apple AirDrop-like interface similar to what you saw on mobile but bigger.

Step 3: Go back to Android and tap on the Android TV name.

This action will launch a pop-up box where you can choose the file that you want to share, and it’ll automatically start transferring. Since the transfer is on Wi-Fi, the transfer speed is pretty good.

Step 4: Once your file is transferred to your Android TV, a pop-up window will open, showing two options: ignore or download. So click on the download to download it, and then once it’s done, you can open it in any file manager.

Snapdrop is free and open source, so definitely give it a shot.
