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!

Okay I have to say, this is one of the best file sharing apps that I've ever used. But I have a little problem with it. I was able to share files from my (Laptop 💻 to Mobile 📱 but can't share from Mobile to Laptop) for some reasons. I tried many times but still the same issue, there is not any accept prompt showing in Laptop. I hope you guys fix this bug soon. Thank you for your wonderful app. 👍

The idea is great, but for some reason the speed of transferring drops after some 10 files down to 100 kb/s, and then I have a bunch of errors for several files. Unfortunately, I had to delete the app, it's just easier, faster, and more reliable to plug and transfer through cable. Maybe I'll go back and review if the app gets updates.
