I came from Google's Quick Share, which needs Bluetooth enabled, and the PC app kept disappearing. This is a breath of fresh air. If all your devices are connected to the same network, this is the tool to use. No Bluetooth enabling is required. It's simple to use, and the desktop app doesn't keep disappearing. It works everywhere there's a client. Superb!

I was looking for a way to quickly and easily send files and photos from my android phone to my MacBook and was frustrated by everything else I tried until I discovered this app. I have to qualify this review in that I have only tried it between the above devices, but it works like a dream! I have very fast WiFi and I sent a folder of photos across that is 1.6gb in about 15 seconds. All I need now is a version for Apple TV box! Please??

To 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 ☹️
