[Feature Request]: Allow Files to be share files from both PC and Mobile similiar to Shareit

Open NaiveInvestigator opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

As of now we can only transfer files from phone to PC. If you could add this feature it would be really great!

Awesome app btw, luv it! Thanks for making this awesome software that too open source!

I hope you do consider adding this someday in the future. Pls do!

Thank you for your FR, I'll try to use Shareit and know it how to work.

@NaiveInvestigator BTW, I want to say, actually, you can also transfer files to your phone, You can follow the steps below:

  • Select Files tab.
  • Then select the destination phone folder you want to upload to your phone
  • At last, just drag these files to the folder, waiting to completed, done.

And open your mobile explorer, you will find these files that you uploaded.

You can watch this video demo, and see it how to work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRcluwkwG7E

How do you think this approach compares to ShareIT? That is, all operations are done on the computer side

Oh this is really nice! I didn't know we could do that since it was undocumented (I think or i missed that part out rip, sorry then ;-;). If we could mention that we can do this in the readme would be really great!

Tho my only gripe is that there is no progress bar. The reason I think we should add this is that suppose if that person's wifi is slow or for some reason the file couldn't be sent properly or taking too long, the user has no way to know what is going on. I think if we could add a progress bar would be really awesome! It think that way it would mitigate those issues.

And also I think having a dedicated send button would be nice addition too. Makes it less confusing and all but not really important.

But in the end these are my opinions, please do consider them kindly!
