Share to devices

Send files or folders to a chosen device on the same local network. Senders can view request states and history; recipients can save, view, or reject content and configure authorization and receiving directories for each device.

Device sharing overview

Page layout​

  1. Recipient list: devices that can receive content, their types, and connection states.
  2. Add device: the top-right add button adds a sharing device.
  3. Sharing management: settings for device names, authorization, and receiving directories.
  4. Sharing history: opens sent and received records.
  5. Start sharing: the bottom-right add button selects files or folders to send.

Send files or folders​

Keep both devices on the same local network and ensure the recipient appears in the sharing-device list.

1. Choose a recipient​

Select files or folders in the file list, choose Share, then select a target in Share to devices. Alternatively, use the sharing page's bottom-right add button to choose content, then choose the recipient.

After sending a request, the target shows waiting-to-receive states, and a bottom message shows the number of items sent.

Waiting for the recipient

Keep the application open and stay on the network until the recipient handles the request.

2. Open a sharing request​

An incoming device-sharing request appears at the bottom. View opens the details; Ignore only dismisses the prompt and does not receive the content.

Incoming device-sharing request

Details show the sending device, save path, and automatic-rejection time. Choose:

  • Save: saves the files or folders to the displayed path.
  • View: opens this share without automatically saving it.
  • Reject: declines this request.

Handle a device-sharing request

The request is rejected automatically if it is not handled before the displayed deadline.

3. Save shared content​

Selecting Save creates a copy task and opens task management. Its card shows progress, speed, remaining time, and parallelism. Use Pause or Cancel task to pause or end the transfer.

Progress while saving a share

When complete, a notification shows that the share was saved, with the sender and actual save path.

Recommendations​

  • Use Auto-accept only for trusted devices. For unfamiliar devices, use Confirm every time or Always reject.
  • Check the sender, content, and receiving directory before saving to avoid overwriting or mixing in unwanted files.
  • Keep both devices on the same local network and keep the application open until transfers finish.
  • Remove unused sharing devices and history periodically. Clearing records does not affect local files.
