I often donwload MP3 files on my computer, for example, and Airdrop them to Voice Dream Reader on my phone. The transfers are very quick. If you and a friend have iOS devices, it's also great for exchanging contact information.

My wife and I both have iPhones so if, for example, I have a picture I want to send to her, I go into Photos, open the picture, tap on “Share” and then I see all the share options like Message, email and so on and there will also be an option for Airdrop. If we both have Airdrop turned on and are close to each other (this only works when you are maybe 10 or 20 feet apart at most) then her name would show up next to Airdrop. I tap on that and she instantly gets a notification which pops up on her iPhone which tells her I am sharing this and if she wants to Accept or Decline. If she taps Accept then in just a second or two the picture is transferred and now is part of her Photo library just as if she had taken it herself. You can turn Airdrop on or off, if On you can select “Contacts only” or “Everybody” which means if you selected Contacts Only nobody nearby would be able to send you anything. Let’s say you were at an airport waiting for your flight with a dozen or more people sitting nearby, if you had Airdrop turned on and set to “Everybody” then somebody could randomly send you a photo or whatever, of course you can decline it, but I usually have mine set to Contacts Only.
