file transfer, copy, copied, files, how to copy files paste

Instashare is a drag and drop file transfer utility. Simple File Sharing – You don't need to be tech-savvy to share files. Works Without Internet – You don't need to be connected to Internet, just use local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to transfer file. Simple to Use – No need to pair devices or setup transfer. Designed for quick and easy file. It's not for the novice because a lot of the buttons and tick boxes are the command line switches. It does however have a built in scheduler, drag and drop onto the window, a simple before and after script editor and a settings (or Robojob) saver for different copy profiles. Multiple file copy test 1: 162 seconds ISO copy test 2: 90 seconds.

AnyDesk provides Copy & Paste synced clipboard for all platforms to perform file transfer operations. Both hotkey (e.g. CTRL+C, CTRL+V) and context menu operation (right-click and copy files) are applicable.Additionally a dedicated file manager is available for Windows and MacOS. (Linux and Android up to this point can only handle incoming file transfer requests.)

Note:

File transfer on Linux has a slightly different handling. See the description below.
