How to send data between windows and android without being on the same network and without internet?

I'm looking for a (usable and reliable) way to send data from an Android device to a Windows PC. I'm trying to build an app similar to AirDroid, that can transfer files wirelessly between devices and also mirror notifications. I managed to do this via a LAN connection, but I would like to do it without using any network.

It would be best if it would not require the user to do much work.

Any suggestions ?

PS: The devices will be in the same room

If you want to do the transfer without being in the same connection and without using LAN (or any cable for that matter). I could only think of using Bluetooth.

If your app (at both the mobile and PC side) has Bluetooth permission, you can easily achieve the transfer without much user interaction. However, this only works for short distances (obviously).

If you're looking for long distance communication, internet is your best bet.
