FAQ

How fast is wireless file transfer?

Transfer speed depends on your Wi-Fi network, device performance, and the selected protocol. On modern Wi-Fi networks, transfers are usually much faster than Bluetooth, especially for large videos or photo collections.

  1. Wi-Fi 5 GHz networks usually provide the best speed
  2. Large video files transfer much faster than over Bluetooth
  3. Using SMB on a local network often provides very good performance
Can I transfer large video files?

Yes. The app supports transferring large files such as 4K videos, ZIP archives, backups, and photo collections. Wireless transfer over Wi-Fi is ideal for large files because it is typically much faster than Bluetooth.

  1. Works with videos, documents, music, APK files, and archives
  2. Transfer speed depends on your local network quality
  3. Ensure enough free storage space on the destination device
Why is my transfer speed slow?

Slow transfer speeds are usually caused by weak Wi-Fi signal, older routers, network congestion, or power-saving settings on devices. Moving closer to the router and using a 5 GHz network may improve performance.

  1. Use a stable Wi-Fi connection
  2. Avoid downloading or streaming during transfers
  3. Disable battery optimization for the app if necessary
Which file types can I transfer?

You can transfer almost any file type supported by Android and your computer system, including photos, videos, documents, music, APK files, archives, and folders.

  1. Photos: JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP
  2. Videos: MP4, MKV, AVI
  3. Documents: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT
  4. Archives: ZIP, RAR, 7Z
Does wireless transfer use mobile data?

No. Transfers happen over your local Wi-Fi network and do not use mobile data or upload files to the cloud.

  1. No Internet connection is required for local transfers
  2. Files remain inside your local network
  3. No cloud upload is needed
How do I find my computer IP address?

You may need your computer IP address when connecting manually using SMB, FTP, or SFTP. The IP address can usually be found in your network settings or terminal/command prompt.

  1. Windows: run "ipconfig" in Command Prompt
  2. Linux/macOS: run "ifconfig" or "ip a" in Terminal
  3. Typical local IP addresses look like 192.168.x.x
Can I transfer files between two Android devices?

Yes. You can use the app to transfer files wirelessly between Android phones or tablets over the same Wi-Fi network.

  1. Both devices must be connected to the same network
  2. Useful for sharing photos, videos, and documents
  3. No USB cable is required
Can I transfer files without Internet access?

Yes. The app works over a local Wi-Fi network and does not require Internet access. Both devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or use Wi-Fi Direct for direct device-to-device communication.

  1. No cloud upload is required
  2. Mobile data networks are not supported for local transfers
  3. Both devices should be connected to the same local network
Is Wi-Fi transfer faster than Bluetooth?

In most cases yes. Wi-Fi transfers are usually significantly faster than Bluetooth, especially when transferring large videos, folders, or photo collections.

  1. Better performance for large files
  2. More suitable for photo and video backups
  3. Transfer speed depends on Wi-Fi quality
Can I transfer files between an Android phone and tablet?

Yes. The app supports wireless file transfers between Android phones and tablets as long as both devices support Wi-Fi networking and are connected to the same local network.

  1. Works with phones and tablets
  2. No USB cable required
  3. Useful for sharing photos, videos, and documents
Does the app use mobile data?

No. File transfers happen only over the local Wi-Fi network and do not use mobile data or Internet upload services.

  1. No mobile data consumption during local transfers
  2. Files stay inside your local network
  3. Internet access is not required
Are my files uploaded to the Internet?

No. Files are transferred directly between your devices over the local network. The app does not upload your files to external cloud servers.

  1. Direct local transfer between devices
  2. No third-party cloud storage involved
  3. More privacy compared to cloud-based sharing
Can a firewall block the connection?

Yes. Windows Firewall, antivirus software, or router security settings may block SMB, FTP, or SFTP connections. Allow the selected protocol through the firewall if necessary.

  1. Windows Firewall may block SMB sharing by default
  2. FTP typically uses port 21
  3. SFTP typically uses port 22
What is the difference between SMB, FTP, and SFTP?

SMB is commonly used for shared folders on local networks. FTP is a simple file transfer protocol. SFTP uses SSH encryption and is often preferred for secure remote access.

  1. SMB works well for Windows shared folders
  2. FTP is simple and widely supported
  3. SFTP adds encrypted communication using SSH
Can I transfer entire folders?

Yes. The app supports transferring complete folders including subfolders and multiple files at once.

  1. Useful for backups and photo collections
  2. Folder structure is preserved during transfer
  3. Large folders may take longer depending on Wi-Fi speed
Why can't I log in to my server?

Login problems are usually caused by incorrect username/password, disabled sharing permissions, firewall restrictions, or wrong IP address configuration.

  1. Verify your username and password carefully
  2. Check that the server service is running
  3. Confirm the correct IP address and port number
