How to Share PUBG Mobile Files Using SHAREit

Why Share PUBG Mobile Files Manually?

PUBG Mobile is a large game. The download can eat through your mobile data if you're on a limited plan. That's why many players share the game files directly with friends using SHAREit. It's faster than re-downloading and works without internet.

This guide shows you exactly how to do it. No fluff.

What You Need Before Starting

Don't skip this part or you'll waste time mid-transfer.

• SHAREit installed on both devices (sender and receiver)
• PUBG Mobile APK and OBB files downloaded on the sender's phone
• Enough storage space on the receiving device
• Both phones with decent battery or plugged in

Where to Find PUBG Mobile Files

The game has two parts you need to transfer:

• APK file — the main installer
• OBB data folder — contains game assets (this is the big one)

You can download these from the official PUBG Mobile website or trusted APK sites if you haven't already got them.

How to Share PUBG Mobile Files Using SHAREit

Step 1: Prepare the Files on the Sender's Phone

Create a dedicated folder for transfer. Put both the APK and the OBB folder inside it. Name it something simple like "PUBG_Files" so you can find it quickly.

Make sure the OBB folder structure stays intact. It should look like this:

• Android/obb/com.tencent.ig/

If you rename or mess up the folder structure, the game won't recognize the files after installation.

Step 2: Open SHAREit on Both Devices

Launch SHAREit on both phones. The sender taps the "Send" button. The receiver taps "Receive".

Make sure Bluetooth and Location permissions are enabled. SHAREit needs these for the connection to work.

Step 3: Connect the Two Devices

On the sender's phone, you should see available devices appear in the SHAREit interface. Tap the receiver's device name to start the connection.

If you don't see the device, make sure both phones are close to each other. SHAREit works over local Wi-Fi Direct, so physical proximity matters.

Step 4: Select and Send the Files

Once connected, tap the "+" or folder icon to browse and select your PUBG_Files folder. SHARIT can send multiple files at once, but sending the entire folder as one batch is usually smoother.

Hit Send and wait. The OBB data is large (several gigabytes), so this can take 10-30 minutes depending on file size and connection speed. Don't close the app or let your phone sleep during transfer.

Step 5: Install on the Receiver's Phone

After transfer completes, the receiver needs to:

• Locate the received APK file in SHAREit's download section
• Tap to install the APK (enable "Install from unknown sources" if prompted)
• Move the OBB folder to Android/obb/com.tencent.ig/

The OBB placement is critical. If the game asks you to download data after installation, the OBB files are probably in the wrong location.

SHAREit vs Other Transfer Methods

Here's how SHAREit compares to alternatives for sharing game files:

SHAREit wins for speed and convenience when both phones are available. USB is faster for very large files but requires more setup.

Common Problems and Fixes

Connection Fails Repeatedly

Restart both apps. Disable VPN if you have one active. Turn off mobile data on both phones to force Wi-Fi Direct connection.

Transfer Speed is Extremely Slow

Move the phones closer together. Close other apps using Wi-Fi. Older phones with single-band Wi-Fi will always be slower.

OBB Files Won't Transfer Properly

Try sending the OBB folder as a compressed ZIP file instead. This prevents partial file transfers and preserves structure.

Game Crashes After Installation

Clear the game cache. Reinstall if necessary. Make sure you have the correct PUBG Mobile version for your region.

Quick Checklist Before You Start

• Both phones have SHAREit installed and updated
• APK and OBB files are ready in one folder
• Battery above 50% or phones plugged in
• Enough free storage on receiver's phone

That's it. Follow these steps and you'll have PUBG Mobile transferred without touching your data plan.
