Overview

Send Anywhere is an Android app that enables users to send and receive files of any size securely and quickly. Developed by Estmob, the app's ID is com.estmob.android.sendanywhere, and it falls into the productivity genre. With up to 10 million downloads on Google Play Store, this app has gained popularity due to the variety of features it offers.

Features

Send Anywhere comes with a range of features that make file transfer effortless:

No Sign-up Required

Unlike other file-sharing apps that require users to create accounts before using, Send Anywhere does not require sign-up, making it user-friendly.

Cross-platform Sharing

The app facilitates file sharing between different operating systems. You can send files from Android devices to iOS or vice versa, as well as send a file from your Android phone to your computer or tablet.

No Restrictions

You can send files of any size and type, including photos, videos, documents, zipped files, and even folders. The app allows you to send files up to 50GB in size, which is quite impressive for a file-sharing app.

On-Demand Transfer

To eliminate the need for cables and USB drives, Send Anywhere uses on-demand transfer technology, enabling recipients to access files without having to connect their devices physically.

Pros

There is no doubt that Send Anywhere has some significant advantages over similar apps, including:

Fast and Secure Transfer

With immediate transfer end-to-end encryption system, users don't have to worry about the safety of their data. Moreover, there are no restrictions concerning the destination of the file or its size. All these features make the app stand out above competitors such as Shareit or Xender.

User-Friendly Interface

The app has an attractive and easy-to-use interface that makes it simple to share files with others. Better yet, you can customize your account for further ease of use.

Cons

Whilst Send Anywhere is an outstanding file-sharing app, it may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some potential cons:

Ads Cluttering The Interface

Though adverts that cover the whole screen appear occasionally, they can be a nuisance for some users. Disable ads through making In-App purchases to remove all the ads

Transfer Speeds Could Improve

Send Anywhere's transfer speeds could be seen as subpar compared to competing for file-sharing apps, with something like Shareit being faster in our current testings.

Comparison with Similar Apps

Send Anywhere is ranked among the best in the world of file-sharing apps. It stands toe to toe with other file sharing apps such as AirDrop, Shareit, and Xender. Compared to AirDrops, which is only available on iOS devices, it offers a more convenient way of sharing files between platforms. Moreover, it allows you to send large files of up to 50GB (which is a significant advantage over Xender and Shareit).

Tips For Using the App

Here are some tips for using Send Anywhere effectively:

Enable Permission Access

To function correctly, the app needs access to your device's gallery and contacts to select files and send them. Ensure you grant the app necessary permissions when prompted.

Upgrading to Premium

You can access advanced features, including ad-free usage or longer transfer expiration by purchasing the premium version in-app.

Conclusion

All in all, Send Anywhere is a fantastic file transfer app suitable for anyone looking to share files safely and quickly, making it one of our top picks. Though there are some disadvantages concerning the ads and transfer speeds, its features outweigh the cons. We recommend downloading the app from Google Play Store and avoiding other apps with similar functionality.
