AirBridge vs FileFast

AirBridge is a fast, secure way to transfer files between your Apple devices over the local network. Send files directly between iPhone, iPad, native Mac, and Apple silicon Macs running the iPad app without routing your documents through a remote server. AirBridge is built for nearby transfers with clear device identity, one obvious send action, visible progress, and practical controls for trust and transfer history. Use AirBridge to: - discover nearby devices on your local network - send files directly between your Apple devices - send folders, text, and links through the same local transfer path - review transfer progress and recent history - manage trusted devices with clearer receiver approval prompts - confirm local-transfer proof and receipt availability - retry failed transfers and keep better visibility into what happened AirBridge is designed for people who want more control and more visibility during local file transfer. Key features: - direct device-to-device transfer over the local network - trust-on-first-use approval flow for safer receiving - visible local-transfer proof and receipt sharing - persistent trusted-device storage in the system keychain - configurable transfer-history retention controls - retry guidance and clearer transfer state presentation AirBridge does not require an account and does not use remote storage to move your files between devices.

FileFast sends files that are too large for email. Upload from your phone, get a link, and share it however you like. The person receiving it opens the link in a browser and downloads. No account, no app, no extension on their side. A free account sends up to 5GB in one transfer. Plus handles single files up to 300GB. Nothing is re-encoded, so a video arrives as the file you sent rather than a compressed copy. Folder structure is preserved, so zipping first is not necessary. Set a password and an expiry on any transfer, and ask for an email when someone downloads. Uploads are checked against known malware before a transfer is released. The same account, limits and history work on the web, iPhone, Android and the Mac menu bar app. The File transfers screen keeps sent and received deliveries together. Search and sort your history, and group transfers into private Collections. File selling, seller setup, and custom domains stay on the web.
