Makes moving files between devices a thousand times easier than "nearby share" or Bluetooth. I've only had two issues, sending the same files twice doesn't prompt you with skipping or overwriting, just makes duplicates. The second issue is if there is an issue with one file during sending, you can't attempt to send it again and have to start a new process with that one file (and there isn't an easy way to figure out which if the folder length is too long)

This app is just way too perfect. It's funny how it's so much more realiable than QuickShare, Nearby Sharing and any other big company alternative. I really would appreciate if they added a button to the quick menu, status bar, idk the name, since the app doesn't stay running in the background and it would make transfering quicker. Also, on that subject, I would also love an option to leave it running in the background on Android that comes deactivated. Would only leave it on on my flagship.

We've been using this on 2 phones and a tablet running Android and 2 laptops running Linux and Windows 10. This, frankly, is the best thing ever! The interface is uniform between devices and the app brilliantly takes care of one simple task for us: transferring files (pictures, say, or videos, or anything else) between devices. It's unobtrusive and stays out of the way when not needed, and when it is needed it works efficiently and effectively! Thanks so much!!!
