Transfer

Overview

• Transfer is a lightweight, web-based tool designed to make file sharing across your local network fast, intuitive, and completely hassle-free.

• Instead of fumbling with cables, cloud logins, or external drives, Transfer allows you to send and receive files seamlessly between multiple devices — all you need is a web browser.

• Every control, button, and progress indicator is designed to make the sharing process transparent and user-friendly, even for those with minimal technical knowledge.

• Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices can all communicate effortlessly.
