Features
Read full description

Send files directly between your phone, computer and browser. xferly.app provides a simple way to transfer documents, photos, videos and other files between devices. Pair another device using a six-digit code, choose your files and begin the transfer. Files are sent directly whenever possible, without first storing a permanent copy in the cloud. If a direct connection is unavailable, the end-to-end encrypted transfer may pass through a relay server, where your files are forwarded but not permanently stored. You can use the essential transfer functionality without creating an account. Signing in is optional and lets you link your own devices for faster access during future transfers. Features • Transfer files between phones, computers and browsers • Connect using a simple pairing code • Send files without creating an account • Link your personal devices with optional sign-in • Share documents, photos, videos and other files from the system share sheet • Resume eligible interrupted transfers of files larger than 25 MB • Review received files in transfer history and download them again • Verify completed files with SHA-256 integrity checks • Keep files end-to-end encrypted even when a relay server is needed • Avoid unnecessary permanent cloud storage xferly.app is built for one purpose: moving files easily from one device to another.
