Open or download your files on other devices with eFile Transfer. Share your folders with others. eFile Transfer is a cloud-based application. The folders you create or the files you upload from the mobile application or website are instantly synchronized on all devices. This allows you to view and download your photos, videos, PDFs, texts, documents, and other files that you have uploaded from one device instantly on other devices. Create an account within seconds of downloading the mobile application and create folders, upload files, and instantly log in on other devices with the QR code. How it Works: To quickly and securely send files such as URLs, texts, photos, videos, PDFs, and documents from your phone or any other device to another device (TV, phone, computer, tablet), enter e-filetransfer.com into the web browser of the receiving device and search. You will see a QR code on the screen. Scan this QR code with the QR code scanner in the mobile application to instantly log in on the receiving device. Create folders and upload files without needing to enter your email and password again. View or download your files. Share the files in the folders you have created by generating a sharing link. Any deletion, upload, name change of the files in the folder or any changes will take place immediately for the people with the sharing link. If you want to share the link of the shared folder with nearby people, ask them to scan the opened QR code from the phone camera or any QR code reader by saying "QR Code" instead of "Copy" on the sharing page. Export your files from the mobile application so you can open them later without an internet connection. By default, your file is only stored in cloud storage. You can choose to store the exported file only in cloud storage by deleting it from your device memory. You can upload text, URLs, photos, videos, or any kind of file you choose from other applications without opening the application using the sharing extension.
