Zetarya Transfer

About this app

Zetarya Transfer moves files between your own devices — phone to laptop, tablet to desktop, across the room or across the country — without uploading them to anyone's cloud first.

Most transfer apps ask you to upload a file, wait, then download it again on the other side. Zetarya connects the two devices and streams the file between them, so a large folder starts arriving in seconds instead of after a full round trip through a server.

PAIR HOWEVER SUITS YOU

• Scan a QR code with the camera — the fastest way when both devices are in front of you.
• Type a short pairing code if the camera is not an option.
• Or just pick the device from the list. Machines signed in to your account appear automatically, and ones on the same network can be connected to without any code at all.

BUILT FOR REAL FILES

• No size limit imposed by the app — send a single photo or a folder of video.
• Transfers resume. If the wifi drops or you close the app mid-send, it picks up where it stopped rather than starting again.
• Set a speed cap for sending or receiving, so a big transfer does not take the whole connection with it.
• Send to several people at once.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

• Traffic is encrypted in transit, and the app connects your devices directly whenever the network allows it.
• You can add your own password on top, so the contents are unreadable even to the relay if a direct connection is not possible.
• Every incoming transfer asks you first, showing what is arriving and who from — until you decide to trust that device.
• Nothing is stored on a server waiting to be collected.

FILES LAND WHERE YOU EXPECT

Photos and video go to your Gallery; everything else goes to Downloads. You can turn that off and send it all straight to Downloads instead.

WORKS WITH EVERYTHING YOU OWN

Android, iPhone and iPad, Mac, Windows and Linux, plus a web page for anyone without the app installed. Your devices and settings follow your account, so a phone and a laptop signed in to the same one already know about each other.

ALSO INCLUDED

• A personal link people can drop files onto, without needing an account.
• A history of what you sent and received.
• Notifications when a transfer finishes, which you can switch off.

Zetarya Transfer is free to use with a monthly allowance. A paid plan lifts the limits and raises the speed ceiling.
