Simple and easy to use
de android a pc es muyyy lento. recomiendo mejor "send anywhere" funciona mejor y es mucho mas rapido
Super easy to share photos & videos between devices. Transfer sensitive files in your LAN, without the cloud, no servers & no limits. It's blazing fast, all local transfers are encrypted with TLS and it works on all major platforms. PLUS: No app installation needed & it's totally FREE! All you need is a browser (and 2+ devices). The best LOCAL file transfer app on the web 👍
