Nearby Transfer Send files directly to nearby devices. FileBeam is designed for quick phone-to-phone sharing, making it easy to transfer photos, videos, documents, and contact cards without compressing your files or relying on messy manual steps. Remote Sharing Links When the receiver is not nearby, FileBeam lets you create a secure remote sharing link. Upload once, then share the link through Messages, Mail, social apps, or QR code. The receiver can open the link and download the shared files. Secure Link Controls For better control over your shared files, FileBeam supports password-protected links, expiration settings, and download limits. You can manage your active links, copy links, share QR codes, or revoke links when they are no longer needed. Private Vault FileBeam includes a private Vault for received files. Move important received files into Vault to keep them separate from regular transfer history. Vault is designed for files you want to protect and access later.
