SHAREit 3.0.8_ww
One of the fastest ways in which you can share data is by using SHAREit. Out of all data sharing apps that we've tested, SHAREit seems to be the fastest and most intuitive of them all.
Intuitive interface for a seamless experience
The one thing you'll notice after launching Lenovo's app is that it's very well built and sports a really nice design. It opens with a tutorial showing new users how to navigate inside the app and access all its features.
New users must provide an email address to register on the internet and create a profile by picking a photo and a username. They must also install SHAREit on their PC in order to pair the two devices.
Tablets can also be paired so you may share information from one device to another. The PC version also comes with instructions and tips.
Connect your Android device to the PC
Once you've completed the setup, you can start sharing data between the two devices. All you need to do is connect your phone to the PC and confirm the connection.
You can send files from any device, the app doesn't use your internet network, mobile data or Bluetooth to send information. In fact, it's quite faster than Bluetooth, transfers are done in a matter of seconds but the speed isn't displayed on the screen.
It does however, keep a history of how many files were transferred together with their size. The app supports group sharing which means it lets you connect up to 5 devices simultaneously.
Share files between your devices
The app lets you send all sorts of files between devices, share multiple files including contacts, apps, photos, music and videos. You can also play files from your phone on the PC without transferring or use PPT control for a presentation.
Moreover, the app lets you explore files from the PC directly on your Android device or you can backup all information from your phone. You can pick the storage location on both devices and the app lets you import all apps, contacts, text messages, photos, etc from one device to another, if you're thinking about switching phones.
