AnyTrans Review

We’ve all had our fair share of file transfer nightmares. Have you ever experienced moving a bunch of files and the connection turns off halfway? not being able to connect to the device you are trying to share files on? QR code / scanner active? wait too long for transfers to complete? And a bunch of other problems? I know, I have it. And it SUCKS.

So today we will have a full review of a file transfer tool called AnyTrans.

We tested it on three different platforms:

• Android app
• Web version
• Windows software

You can check the compatibility of your device before downloading here:

Conclusion

Overall, AnyTrans is a game changer. Makes the file transfer and backup process more enjoyable.

Here’s what we liked about AnyTrans:

• The interface is clean, the functions are organized
• The application and software are very light. We have never seen them slow down or stop.
• The connection between the devices is established fairly quickly and they stayed connected
• Files are secured with enhanced security technique
• It supports major cloud storage platforms
• The fact that it is available for iOS, Mac, Android and Windows devices completely defies the file transfer limitations on these operating systems.
• Android app and web version are free
• Video and music download function
• And that he has NO ADVERTISEMENTS!

The inconvenients:

• The QR codes on the computer software did not load immediately, we had to refresh it several times for the code to appear
• We were going to try the media downloader, unfortunately it said that an error occurred during the search process.

Suggestions:

• “Dark mode” option for mobile application and computer software
• Sorting / renaming options for the web version
• Optimizing the QR code generator
