Okay I have to say, this is one of the best file sharing apps that I've ever used. But I have a little problem with it. I was able to share files from my (Laptop 💻 to Mobile 📱 but can't share from Mobile to Laptop) for some reasons. I tried many times but still the same issue, there is not any accept prompt showing in Laptop. I hope you guys fix this bug soon. Thank you for your wonderful app. 👍

I came from Google's Quick Share, which needs Bluetooth enabled, and the PC app kept disappearing. This is a breath of fresh air. If all your devices are connected to the same network, this is the tool to use. No Bluetooth enabling is required. It's simple to use, and the desktop app doesn't keep disappearing. It works everywhere there's a client. Superb!

Makes moving files between devices a thousand times easier than "nearby share" or Bluetooth. I've only had two issues, sending the same files twice doesn't prompt you with skipping or overwriting, just makes duplicates. The second issue is if there is an issue with one file during sending, you can't attempt to send it again and have to start a new process with that one file (and there isn't an easy way to figure out which if the folder length is too long)
