The user interface is easy enough, but unfortunately, this app does not perform post-transfer SHA hash checking, like TeraCopy has, to verify the integrity of the destination file. I'm trying to find an app that will do this automatically, so that when I transfer files between a Windows PC and an Android phone or tablet, I can be confident that the file didn't get corrupted, an all-too-common problem with the MTP transfer protocol, especially on large files.

I have a Windows PC, Android phone, and an Apple iPad. This app has been fantastic for file sharing between these devices. It's easy to use and allows me to quickly share/transfer my files. The app design is also simple so you shouldn't be lost or confused about how to use it. Remember, for it to work, this app has to be installed on all devices you wish to share and transfer files between.

absolutely excellent. I use this on my Android devices, my pc, and my mac. I can extremely quickly send data between any of them. it does work on the local network only. you could use something like tailscale to make it work over a vlan if you're not in the same local network. I have turned quite a few people on to this app and everybody loves it.
