It's a great app with an amazing purpose but... You can only select pictures one by one and there's an error occurring regarding the dropped Wi-Fi and you can't continue the transfer so you have to select the files again. Not so fun when you want to transfer over a thousand files :)

All is good but make a app which is substitute of SHAREit. SHAREit works better only android-android mobile... For Android-windows, and android-apple, its not work well. But you make, which works good in all format, Quick connect in Android-windows, android-apple. And Microsoft launcher is also good but you can also make windows 10 launcher.

Love this app. Works just fine. I usually connect my phone to my laptop and transfer photos from camera roll. Now, the boring issue is solved. By this app I'm able to transfer photos to my laptop seamlessly. Love you Microsoft ❤

Installed on my LG V20. No matter how many photos I select it will only transfer 24 random ones. Also, once I select one photo to transfer it starts and goes through and selects them all. Then, once again only transfers a random 24 of them.
