Okay I have to say, this is one of the best file sharing apps that I've ever used. But I have a little problem with it. I was able to share files from my (Laptop 💻 to Mobile 📱 but can't share from Mobile to Laptop) for some reasons. I tried many times but still the same issue, there is not any accept prompt showing in Laptop. I hope you guys fix this bug soon. Thank you for your wonderful app. 👍

I came from Google's Quick Share, which needs Bluetooth enabled, and the PC app kept disappearing. This is a breath of fresh air. If all your devices are connected to the same network, this is the tool to use. No Bluetooth enabling is required. It's simple to use, and the desktop app doesn't keep disappearing. It works everywhere there's a client. Superb!

To have built an AirDrop alternative with client apps on nearly every platform is real dedication. There are bugs here and there, but it's to be expected. One thing that should *absolutely* be added to improve adoption is some kind of share button, which would let you easily send a download link for the app to others (which would ideally forward to the appropriate software distribution platform based on the OS).
