Xender

Sending and receiving files to and from other devices on your Android is possible with Xender, an app that works without cables, the Internet or Bluetooth.

App for transferring files between Android and other devices

I am sure that you have already wondered how to transfer files from an Android to a PC, iOS, Mac or another Android quickly and wirelessly. If so, then you'll want to explore Xender, a tool that not only lets you transfer files wirelessly, but also without a WiFi or data connection.

How does Xender work?

This file transfer for Android uses the connectivity of your smartphone or tablet to create your own short-distance WiFi network. The receiving device (an iPhone or iPad, a Windows, a Mac...) only needs to have the application installed and be close to the mobile phone to be recognized within the created hotspot.

Of course you won't be able to use it because it doesn't work to send or receive files over long distances. But for many other cases, it offers a solution to send anything to your computer, share an application with a friend, or transfer media galleries with lots of files.

• These are the main functions and features of the application:
• Share all types of files from your smartphone to other devices: songs, apps, documents, photos, videos...
• You don't need to connect to any data network.
• Transmission is up to 200 times faster than Bluetooth.
• Compatible with different operating systems.
• Integrated music and video playback.
• No data restrictions on transfers.

Attractive features beyond the transmission speed

One of the keys to the success of this application isn't so much the speed with which it's capable of transferring files, but rather the cross-platform capabilities it offers. Due to the fragmentation that exists nowadays when using operating systems between Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, the app facilitates compatibility between all these systems. You only need the appropriate version for the respective operating system and the devices are connected to each other.

It also has a very attractive feature for Android users: if we see that a friend has an app we like, he can share it with us by sending the installation APK via Xender. No personal data, activity data, or any other type of data that does not match anything other than the original packaging itself will arrive.
