Comments on LocalSend: Transfer Files for Android

★★★★★ Jonathan Redfearn · Jun 8, 2026
Free, simple and efficient. I was able to send music and files from my laptop to my phone easily over local Wi-Fi, you just install this on the sending and receiving devices, and then you're sorted. The interface is pretty easy to work out - click send on the sending machine and choose the files out folder you want to send and click the alias for the recipient device. On the receiving device go to the reception tab - it's off by default, so just press on and accept the transferred files. Easy
★★★★★ B. Frank · May 31, 2026
My samsung usb cell to home computer file transfer seemed to quit. Thanks samsung. I needed a quick and reliable file transfer that worked. Local Send cell app along with Local Send Windows 11 program did the job. So easy to use. Transfer single files or complete folders. I'd give the app a 10 if I could.
★★★★★ Armin Geiger CH · Jun 1, 2026
Excellent - a lifesaver. After Apple Tahoe update completely bricked my paid for sharing app, this works like a charm. Easy to install and use, great UI, works fast and reliably. Many thanks to the developer!
★★★★★ Syed Muttakin Rayat · May 29, 2026
Makes it really easy to send files across tablets, phones and PC, laptops regardless of iOS or android. And is fast enough.
★☆☆☆☆ Amal Mohan · Jun 9, 2026
It was working fine earlier. But now as soon as I send something to my phone from my PC, the pc shows the transferring progress bar and the phone shows the dialog to open the file. The transfer eventually shows as failed on the pc.
★☆☆☆☆ Dr Pulkit · May 5, 2026
Sending large file (4gb) from android to ios. Sends within 1 min then "finished with error" appears and it's unsent! I was so happy looking at the quickest transfer I have seen between the two phones. I used hotspot of android to send it to iphone.
★☆☆☆☆ Carlos g · May 30, 2026
