Those who have lived through the evolution of modern handheld devices know the pain of painful Bluetooth transfers. Some of us have even experienced short-range infrared file transfers, the thrill of successfully pushing files across the unreliable medium.

In comparison, file transfers have become a piece of cake these days. Thanks to apps like Xender and ShareIt, you can easily send a huge file to another user without breaking a sweat, and at blazing speeds. And to top it all off, these apps are free to us. So you’re not wasting your hard-earned money on something you only use once in a while.

In this piece, however, we won’t be focusing on the two famous file transfer apps. Here, we’ll be looking at five great alternatives, some of which even have their own “superpowers.”

The first app on our list is built for no-nonsense, simplified file sharing. Without compromising on quality and features, this free app lets you securely exchange files via its 256-bit encrypted tunnel. Send Anywhere lives up to its name by letting you send files “Anywhere,” including your PC.
