File Transfer

I want to create an app that runs 24/7 to collect sensor data and sends it to the companion. A file does not get deleted until the companion indicates that it has received the file. I am not sure whether I need to implement that handshaking. I want no data loss, but keeping the files on the device drains the storage. If the "transferred" event is emitted does that means that the receiver will receive that file? From my observations, the receiver can receive the file in a matter of seconds, but other times, it takes a while or seemingly would never receive the file.

I think you need to implement your own handshaking.
