.....I recommend doing a Wikipedia search. Without more information of what devices you own and want to use it on, additional advice from any forum will be limited.

Near Field Communication or NFC is a short-range high frequency wireless communication technology which enables the exchange of data between devices over about a 10 centimeter (around 4 inches) distance.

If your phone is equipped with NFC, you can try it. The file manager I use has this feature. Let me show you how to use the feature.

1.Make sure your two phones have the access to the same WiFi network and have File Expert installed.
2. Enable NFC in system Settings on both devices.
3. Start File Expert on both device, long press on the file you need to share on device A-Send Files-NFC Tapping.
4.Tapping to device B back to back to finish file transfer.
