File sharing made fast and simple
SHAREit enables fast, offline file transfers between devices using Wi-Fi Direct or local hotspot connections, without relying on internet or cloud services. Transfers are generally smooth, but performance can vary depending on the device, operating system limitations, wireless range, or signal interference during the sharing process.
SHAREit is promoted as being up to 200 times faster than Bluetooth, with a peak advertised speed of up to 42 MB/s. This advantage makes the app a strong choice for transferring large files like videos, apps, and presentations. It also imposes no hard file size limits, allowing users to send substantial files, as long as device storage and system constraints permit.
Swift file transfers
Scope of features
SHAREit works entirely offline, making it a practical option in low-connectivity environments. It supports a wide variety of file types, including images, music, videos, documents, apps, and contact data. The transfers rely on local wireless connections rather than mobile networks or cloud servers.
That said, it is geared mainly toward one-time file transfers. It lacks advanced capabilities like cloud sync, automated backups, or detailed file organization. Users in need of comprehensive file management may find it better suited for quick, on-the-go sharing rather than long-term storage solutions.
Cross-platform support
SHAREit remains primarily focused on mobile platforms but is also available on desktop systems through proprietary app stores. In addition, it now offers a web-based interface accessible via modern browsers. While the browser version supports basic file transfers, it lacks the full functionality and speed of the native mobile app.
Straightforward, offline file transfers
SHAREit offers fast, offline transfers via Wi-Fi Direct, making it ideal for sharing large files without internet access. Though performance varies by device and environment, its speeds surpass Bluetooth. The interface is functional but ad-heavy. While it supports a wide range of file types, it lacks cloud sync and advanced file management. Though mainly mobile-focused, desktop and web versions exist with reduced functionality. Best suited for quick, one-time transfers.
