“Without installing third-party applications, users can conveniently and securely transfer files between OPPO smartphones and iOS, iPadOS and macOS devices, improving cross-platform interoperability,” OPPO explained. The firm added that this capability was developed in partnership with Google and MediaTek.
This would be a welcome upgrade over OPPO’s previous method for sharing files between Android and iOS. The company previously offered a so-called O+Connect app for iPhones, which facilitated local file sharing between the two platforms. However, iPhone users had to download a third-party app to share files with OPPO or OnePlus owners. So we’re glad to see this latest method, which doesn’t require an app download for either party.
