Local network, full speed On the same Wi-Fi, transfers go directly over your local network — no data usage, no cloud, no throttling.

Motion photos received from other platforms are automatically adapted — viewable in the app, and recognized as motion when saved to your gallery. Resume anytime Connection dropped or device offline? Transfers resume from where they left off. Send to multiple devices at once Select multiple devices and send the same files in parallel. Built-in file extraction Open ZIP, RAR, and other archives directly in the app. Sign in only when you need to No account required for local transfers — just open and send.

About

BBShare Multi

Read full description

Transferring files via instant messaging apps requires an internet connection, imposes file size limits or uses proprietary compression, and relies on third‑party relay servers. File migration tools from device manufacturers often only work between their own devices. Setting up FTP, HTTP, or other third‑party tools requires professional expertise. There is a widespread need for an easy‑to‑use file transfer tool that works across different operating systems on phones, tablets, and computers within the same local network. BBShare Multi-Transfer is a cross‑device file transfer tool that supports quick, hassle‑free file transfers among phones, tablets, and computers with different operating systems over the same local network. No internet, cables, or third‑party relays are required—it's secure and direct. BBShare Multi-Transfer offers features such as file sharing, single or batch downloads, file receiving, file sending, sent history, received history, and system settings. By using BBShare Multi-Transfer, you agree to Apple’s standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/.
