for some reason Google's Quick Share doesn't work when I want to send something from my laptop to a phone (though it receives just fine), but this app resolves that issue. fast and easy setup in like 20 seconds, no ads, works straight out of the box 👍

Flawless. I was looking for an alternative for SendAnywhere, due to the high amount of ads being added to the app. This is amazing, it uses windows's Nearby Sharing functionality and files transfer almost instantly. There are no ads and is much faster than anything I've used. Highly recommend it for those who regularly transfer files to their Windows PC and want a clutter free, easy to use experience. Highly worth it.

It's great and thanks for developing this. Please fix these for a better experience. 1.) Issue with files >90MB transfer in PC stops at 99% because in the phone it's 100% which means the task is complete and the connection gets terminated. Can fix this bug. 2.) Only one file can be selected for each transfer directly through the app. But possible from Gallery. 3.) Please add a receiving feature. Once again thank you very much.
