On the Google Play store there is a "Send anywhere" app. By putting this app on both laptops (or PC, smartphone) you can select which file/photos/video/document/spreadsheets/etc you want transferred from 1 device to the other device. Once you select the files you want to send, your given a code. On the device you want to receive the files you then open "Send anywhere" and put in that code and indicate you want to receive the files. The files are then transferred from one device to the other. There is a ad you may have to watch prior to the xfer which at one point was a bit much (free version). I believe they have minimized the ads. You don't have to buy a flash drive and can test it out with the free version.
