WiFi File Share turns your device into a fast file-sharing point on your local Wi-Fi network. How it works Tap "Start Sharing" and the app shows you a link. Open that link in a browser on any device on the same network — PC, laptop, another phone — and you get a page where you can upload and download files directly. Nothing to install on the second device.

There is no middle server, nothing is uploaded to the internet, and we collect no data about you. Pro version • Receive files of any size from a browser — no 256 MB upload limit • Download several files at once as a single ZIP • One-time purchase — no subscription Note: both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network to use network sharing mode.
