Sharefi vs Files Remote

Share files through your local network. It is fast, secure, free, easy to use and cross platform.

Files Remote is a cross-platform local-network file browser for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows. Choose specific folders to share from a Mac or Windows host, then browse them from a paired device on the same Wi-Fi or LAN. Readers with Read permission can navigate shared folders, inspect file details, download files, and save, share, or open received copies using the options available on their device. When the host grants Read & Write access, they can also create folders, upload files, rename items, and request deletion. Files Remote is designed for private access between nearby devices. New pairings require approval, requests are encrypted, device certificates are pinned, and each host stores its own permissions. Files are transferred directly between your devices instead of being uploaded to a Files Remote cloud service. Browse in list or grid view, sort by name, date, size, or type, filter the current folder, select multiple files, follow transfer progress, resolve upload conflicts, and review completed work in History. Use Files Remote to bring computer documents to a phone, send mobile photos to a desktop folder, collect files during a meeting, or manage a trusted home or office computer without setting up a cloud drive.
