Once upon a time before everything went cloudy I could connect a PC to a PC (forget laptops!) via a special twisted parrallel cable and lovely 'laplink' software and transfer data direction between the hard drives which, in the days of floppies, was a life saver!

I could really do with an equivalent if such exists to transfer data files between my laptops for my tuition business, especially with the up and coming Neon rebase. My laptops are in use all the time with my classes being all online now so I have to be careful (or I would be testing the Beta!) I have no laptop/desktop to use as a network server BTW.

Is there is a direct laptop to laptop link bit o' software for file transfer? With these days of wifi everything I am sure there must be a way! Google drives are insecure and waaaayyyy too slow, BTW and I'm talking transferring like 200GB here in backups and learning materials.

Can anyone point the way?

Many thanks.

you can transfer quite easily in Dolphin. Since you use the same network, just select the laptops in the network and make sure to have correct permissions on each laptop (if you are on Linux only, a Shared folder should be enough). I regularly transfer files on the local network and via Wifi on different computers at home.
