Move files between any two devices from your browser
No cable? No problem. Upload on one device, scan the QR code on the other, and your files jump across - Android to iPhone, phone to PC, Mac to Windows, anything to anything. Know which way you are sending? There is a step-by-step page for each direction below.
Your link expires on the schedule you pick above (24 hours by default). Every download keeps it alive for another 24 hours. Expiry disables the public address; normal files remain private in My Files.
Copy and send it now - The files appear for the recipient as the upload finishes, using the security settings you chose before selecting them.
Scan the QR code with any phone camera to open the link instantly.
Which way are you sending?
The uploader above works between any two devices. These pages walk you through one direction each, with the right tool for it.
Moving a file from your phone to your laptop should not need a cable, a driver, or matching brands. Upload the file on one device, then open the link or scan the QR code on the other, and it downloads straight away. Because everything runs in the browser, it does not matter whether you are going from Android to a Windows PC or from an iPhone to a Mac.
You can move up to 100 files at once, up to 3 GB total, in a single share - one big file or many smaller ones. There is no pairing and no app on either device. Set the link to last 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days depending on how long you need the handoff to stay open. Each download keeps the link alive another 24 hours, so a two-way transfer will not time out on you.
- Works across every OS - Only a browser is needed
- QR code scanning for instant phone transfers
- No Bluetooth pairing, cables or apps
- Nothing to configure on the receiving device
Why transfer files across devices with a link?
Cables and pairing tools only work when the two devices speak the same language, and they often do not across brands and operating systems. A link works anywhere a browser does, so a phone and a computer that share nothing else can still trade files in seconds. The QR code makes it even faster: scan it with a camera and the download opens with no typing. When you are done, the expiry clock clears the file so it is not left sitting on a server.
