About this app

Are you annoyed by USB cable clutter or slow Bluetooth transfers?

Never before, our smartphones were as powerful as they are today. Why do we still transfer our files like in the last millennium? Take the step into the 21st century and transfer your data over faster and safer Wi-Fi connections!

The Wi-Fi data transfer has never been easier. You do not have to deal with IP addresses or other technical details. Install the Wifi File Share and get started.

Advantages:

▶ Send an unlimited number of files/data.
▶ The size of the files is limited only by your device memory. You can also exchange data of immense size (e. g. complete backups) with other devices.
▶ Besides the usual files (photos, music, videos) you can also send any other file. There are no limits. Even entire archives (.zip,.tar, etc.) can be transferred quickly and easily.
▶ As one of the few apps for data transfer, the Wifi File Share supports sending complete folder structures. The folder structure on the receiver side is structured exactly as it was originally.
▶ File attributes (e. g. recording time for images) can be retained. The transferred files are identical to the original files.
▶ No further software is required. The app contains a file manager with which you can select and send any file type. It is also possible to select several files/folders in one go.
▶ Of course, the app can still interact with third-party apps. You can transfer the existing content directly from other apps (e. g. gallery).
▶ Very high transmission speeds (up to 100 MBit/sec.). The better your Wi-Fi connection, the faster the content is transferred.
▶ During the transmission you can dedicate yourself to other things. The app runs in the background. In the status bar you can inform yourself about the current progress.
▶ The sent files do not leave your local network during the transfer. Therefore, they are not cached anywhere. As a positive side effect, your mobile data volume is not burdened by the transfers.

Classic application scenarios are:

▶ Transfer holiday photos to your PC/laptop
▶ Transfer music to your smartphone/tablet
▶ Transfer data from your old phone to your new one
▶ Transfer backups to your pc
▶ Share documents with friends or colleagues

Notes:

▶ During transmission, both devices must be in the same network (Wi-Fi or LAN).
▶ For speed reasons, the transmission is not additionally encrypted. It is recommended to transfer sensitive data only in private, WPA2 secured networks.
▶ It is advisable to install updates for the so-called "KRACK" vulnerability as soon as possible.
