FastShare

FastShare is a free file transfer app for Android and Windows. It sends photos, videos, apps, music, documents and whole folders between phones and PCs over a direct Wi-Fi link, so you do not need internet, a cable or an account.Phone to phone, the two phones connect directly over Wi-Fi Direct. There is no router in the middle and no mobile data is used. When both phones support 5 GHz Wi-Fi, FastShare opens a 5 GHz link automatically; if one of them only has 2.4 GHz, it switches to 2.4 GHz at once so the transfer still works.Send to PC works both ways. The free Windows app finds phones on the same Wi-Fi network automatically, or you can pair by scanning a QR code. For a laptop that does not have the app, browser mode shows an address on the phone; open it in any web browser on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Chromebook to download files from the phone or upload files to it.You can share from any app by picking FastShare in the Android share menu. If a transfer is cut, it resumes where it stopped instead of starting again. Big files over 4 GB and complete folders are supported.The speed shown during a transfer is the real measured speed, together with the Wi-Fi band in use (5 GHz or 2.4 GHz). No fake numbers. Honest expectations: phones with 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi reach about 5 to 12 MB/s, two Wi-Fi 5 phones about 20 to 40 MB/s, and two Wi-Fi 6 phones close together 40 MB/s or more.Privacy: files go directly from one device to the other over the local network and are never uploaded to a server. The Android app is ad-supported; the Windows app has no ads.Requirements: Android 7.0 or newer; Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, 10 or 11, available as 64-bit setup, 32-bit setup and a portable version. FastShare is freeware.
