Send Anywhere - File Transfer 4+

Excellent App, but needs encryption

I am pro member. I use this app a lot and one thing I love is the frequent updates which shows that the developers are constantly working to make a fantastic app even much better. I gave it 4 Stars for now because there is a few features I’ll like too see added eg. End-to-end encryptions, the ability to password protect files sent and a way to see when the files sent is being downloaded i.e. if I share a link I’ll like to see how many times it was downloaded, if it’s actively being downloaded etc. For me it’s all about security and how the developer handles or guarantees privacy. I read through and did not see any mention of that. Forgive me if I missed it. Otherwise, great app and hoping to see those requested features in future updates.

Flakey at best

It works for the most part, when it works, but tends to not only freeze up app but also my iPad. Very troubling as to not knowing if it will mess anything up on my tablet. It seems slower than I recall on previous devices. Most recently it wouldn’t let me delete several pictures i had already transferred, even after trying three times. This was immediately preceding the freeze up. Update. This app works really well when it works, but it flakes out and does all sorts of weird crap. I can’t even find my pictures on my computer. It says it’s in the subsystem or something which isn’t helpful, because it doesn’t give you any sense of direction. I want to like this app but it gives me nothing but grief. Just trying to transfer pictures from my p.o.s. Pixel to my p.c. Isn’t exactly smooth. I detect no files at all when looking in my computer, yet it shows that I’ve transferred at least 4 gb of data. So where is it. I have pretty much everything enabled in the app and it shows all of the photos while in send anywhere app but they’re not on my computer. It’s as if it doesn’t exist

Sorry to hear that. We suggest re-installing the latest app to see if that resolves the issue you are experiencing and if that does not work, please contact us via [Send Feedback] menu within our app as that provides us more information to work with.
Please note that the files in the Files tab are only saved in Send Anywhere app. If you delete Send Anywhere app on your device, the files in Files tab of Send menu will be deleted with it as well.
In the File app on iOS, you can see that files in the Files tab of Send menu are stored in 'Send Anywhere' folder within Files app. You can back them up by moving them to a folder other than the SendAnywhere folder.

The Better AirDrop

The app is one of my gizmos I have in my back pocket for photography. I have had several devices, and many of them are Apple devices. Problem of transferring it via the cloud is the download and upload times. Sometimes you need it instantaneous. Airdrop is usually the way to go.

Sometimes not every device is airdrop compatible, airdrop fails to recognize other computer, or the distances between sender and recipient is too great. You still don’t want to give someone access to a cloud folder for some reason and just want to send THAT file: Send Anywhere is my go to.

It’s easy. Cross platform compatible. And intuitive for unfamiliar users to use. Highly recommended, even for non-photographers.
