User reviews
Thought this was a brilliant solution after SuperBeam was too often flaky. Worked once, now won't send Android to Windows and the UI on either shows no indication of why. Mainly use to share the odd photo, so resorted to using my MEGA drive, which has been 100% reliable.

John F, 2024-11-23To start with worked perfectly, but it's developed a fault. When trying to sent a file from Android it says file can't be opened because it doesn't have permission - which it does! I've discovered that placing the file in a folder and doing a folder send works fine (proving the permissions message is rubbish). Fix this glitch to get my 5th star. BTW, I've uninstalled, reset permissions and stuff like that, still get the message ☹️

John Douglas, 2024-11-17I have used almost all available solution to trasfer files between my phone and pc wireless and offline. Some of them was good, but none of them met my all requirements. This is the only app that can do it. It's really a life saver❣️❣️.
