Instashare - Transfer files the easy way 1.9

Not too long ago transferring files was more of a chore than something we all did on a daily basis with ease. The times have changed, of course, and now it’s easier than ever to share content from one individual to another, cross platforms and through a series of methods.

Instashare is a cross-platform app that will solve many of your problems with a simple drag and drop of a file. Transferring files with this app is available for users of iOS devices, Mac OS X, Android and Windows.

Easy like A-B-C

The app itself is extremely simple, with a clean interface that makes everything that much easier. We found the entire process extremely easy to figure out. Basically, you don’t have to be tech-savvy to figure out how to share files.

What’s cool about Instashare is that you don’t have to depend on any kind account with the likes of Google, or even to share your email address. Users can take advantage of the local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, although this latter feature is only available for iOS users. In this manner, the app only looks into those devices that are connected in this manner.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On one hand, you don’t have to register in any way and the files don’t reside on a server somewhere, but on the other hand open Wi-Fi networks aren’t necessarily the safest. Of course, if you use a secure connection, then things change for the better. Even so, with this risk present, Instashare is a great solution for anyone seeking to send over some documents or pictures.

Special features for iOS 8

iOS 8 users will be happy to know that for them, the app comes with an extra feature that enables them to share files from anywhere on their phones via the extension. All you have to do is go to Photos, for instance, choose a pic to send, open it and click the “Share” button. From there, go to the “More” menu and activate Instashare to add in the button. From there on out, everything is even easier.

This is one of the best file transferring apps we’ve ever encountered, and on top of this, it receives a lot of bonus points because the entire process takes place between devices, without making any kind of copies in the cloud.
