SuperBeam-WiFi Direct Share is an app you definitely want on your Android device if you often need to share files with other devices nearby. It isn't powered by a cloud-based service, so your file transfers stay private and don't require an Internet connection to be completed.

Take Advantage of Local Wireless Networking Technology to Transfer Files

While Bluetooth is commonly used to send data between mobile devices, its slow data transfer speeds make it a poor choice for sharing large files. SuperBeam-WiFi Direct Share uses WiFi to transfer your files instead. On devices that support it, the app creates a WiFi Direct connection, allowing fast and reliable file sharing. Otherwise, it can use an existing WiFi network or the built-in WiFi hotspot mode to send and receive files of all kinds.

You can use this handy app to share one or several files at a time, regardless of their type. Documents, movies, songs, APKs, ZIP archives and any other file type imaginable can be sent between two devices. The fast transfer speeds that a local WiFi connection supports enable you to quickly transfer larger files, such as full-length movies.

Convenient File Sharing Across Platforms

When sharing files between Android mobile devices, SuperBeam-WiFi Direct Share makes device pairing easy. It can use NFC on newer devices that support it or a simple QR code that can be scanned on the receiving device.

A big advantage of this file sharing utility is that it isn't limited to sharing between Android mobile devices. The SuperBeam-WiFi Direct Share app is available for iOS, plus Windows, Mac and Linux. Having the app on both devices makes sharing easier, but it isn't strictly required to receive a file. You can use a standard web browser on the receiving device to access a local web link that will connect to the sender through the local WiFi connection created by the app.

Great File Transfer App for Power Users

The app's interface is clean and effortless to navigate. You can further customize it by merging some screens or changing the color theme. The only downside of this app is that it may appear a bit overwhelming for inexperienced users who aren't familiar with the various types of networking modes supported. On the other hand, power users will feel right at home.

Try All Pro Features Free

The free version allows you to try the Pro edition for 14 days. This will give you access to more advanced features like manual sharing keys, sending files to several devices at a time, sharing entire folders at once, unlimited sending through the web interface and a few others. Ads are removed in the Pro edition as one might expect. The Pro version upgrade is very inexpensive and certainly worth considering if you use found the more advanced sharing functions useful during the free trial.
