I currently use the Local send app to send files wirelessly between devices.

Its max speed is ~3.5mbps when sending on a 2.4ghz wifi mode and ~5mbps on 5ghz. If I turn off encryption it can reach 10-26mbps of transfer speeds with 5ghz wifi.

Is there a faster way aside from usb data cable transfer?

I have tried nearby share and found it unreliable and slower. Total commander wifi transfer is not functional on android 13.

Files I transfer can be a gig in size.

Depends on your situation if thats useful but almost all Android phones support Ethernet USB Adapters. If you got a cable you can plug into you can get great numbers when moving stuff to a network drive.

Yes, USB data cable should be faster. I was wondering about fast, reliable transfer options without wires.
