FileFly Network File Transfer vs Basket Library

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.

Basket Library reads PDF and DjVu files on your iPhone and iPad, and opens the library you keep in Basket on your computer. Two places to read On Device holds the files you import from Files or send over from another app. They sit on the phone, so they open with no network at all. Basket connects to the Basket app running on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine over your local network. You browse the same library you see there — all documents, the inbox, favorites, folders, tags, and smart groups — search it, and open anything in it. Download a copy and it reads offline afterwards. Pairing Your desktop announces itself on the network, so the app usually finds it on its own. Scan the pairing code shown on the desktop, or type the six-digit code. There is no account to make and nothing passes through a server of ours: the phone talks to your own machine and nowhere else. Reading PDF and DjVu render page by page, with a page indicator you can tap to jump somewhere else. The app remembers where you stopped in each document and comes back to it. Images, web pages, notes, and manuscripts kept in Basket open too. Offline The document list, the covers, and any copy you downloaded stay on the device. When the desktop is out of reach the app says so and keeps showing what it already has. What it does not do It reads; it does not edit. Nothing you do on the phone changes the library on your computer. The Basket half needs the desktop app running on the same network. The On Device half does not. English and Simplified Chinese.
