Use FileFly to transfer files between your iPhone and any computer on your Wi-Fi. Windows, macOS, Linux — no cloud, no account, no size limit. ONE APP, EVERY COMPUTER YOU OWN Most ways of getting a file off a phone stop at the edge of one ecosystem. FileFly does not. The same app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and your iPhone talks to all three in exactly the same way. iPhone to Windows — put a video on the family PC without a cable, a cloud account or an email to yourself. iPhone to Linux — send straight to a workstation, a laptop or a home server that nothing else on your phone will talk to. iPhone to Mac — move a folder of photos across in seconds, without waiting for anything to sync. iPhone to iPhone — two phones on the same Wi-Fi, sending directly to each other. It works both ways. Send from your phone to your computer, or from your computer to your phone, with the same three taps. NOTHING TO SET UP Install FileFly on your computer from fileflyapp.com, then open the app on your phone. Your computer is already in the list. No pairing codes, no IP addresses, no accounts at either end — the two devices find each other the moment they are on the same Wi-Fi. SEND WITHOUT OPENING THE APP FileFly lives in the iOS share sheet. Send a photo straight from Photos, or a document straight from Files, pick the device, and it goes. RECEIVED FILES GO WHERE YOU EXPECT Photos and videos are saved to your photo library. Everything else lands in the FileFly folder in the Files app, ready to open with any app on your phone. NO LIMITS A 4K video, a whole photo album, a disk image — if it fits on your phone, it transfers. No queue, no compression, no cap on file size, and no upload waiting on your broadband. The file crosses your Wi-Fi at the speed of your Wi-Fi. YOU DECIDE WHAT ARRIVES Nothing is transferred until you accept it. Every device carries its own key, shown in Settings, so you can check exactly who you are sending to before you say yes. NOTHING IS COLLECTED There is no account to create and no server of ours in the middle. FileFly has no analytics and gathers no data about you or your files. Your files move directly between your devices and never leave your local network. WHAT YOU NEED Two devices on the same Wi-Fi network, with FileFly open on both. That is the whole requirement.
