AnyTrans: Send Files Anywhere for iPhone

File transfer utility across devices

AnyTrans: Send Files Anywhere is a free utility application developed by iMobie Inc. It is a tool made to help users transfer files across their devices. It has a built-in file explorer to help manage and organize data easier and even has integration with various cloud storage services.

Just like other data transfer solutions like SHAREit or Xender, AnyTrans: Send Files Anywhere feature cross-platform compatibility. That means whether it's from a smartphone, tablet, or PC, users will be able to send and receive files, as well as access cloud drives from any device and from anywhere.

Simple file transferring

From taking photos and videos all the time to downloading movies and shows, and editing work documents, your device's storage can quickly fill up. When it comes time to switch to a new one or simply save a backup, transferring files from one to the other becomes a long and tedious process. In comes AnyTrans: Send Files Anywhere to make the whole experience a bit easier.

AnyTrans lets you copy or move data to any of your devices from anywhere. It features a built-in file explorer to manage your files, and a media player to preview your music and movies. You can view all your files stored locally and on the cloud from a single app. From there it's just a matter of determining which files you want to keep and remove.

Transfers will be done via the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot connection, depending on which is more stable and faster. Also, all your uploads and downloads are protected with 256-bit SSL encryption for added security. However, actual usage is very unstable and inconsistent. The app suffers from frequent connection issues when transferring, or worse, not all files are successfully transferred, which is quite disconcerting.

Problematic, to say the least

Overall, if you're considering AnyTrans: Send Files Anywhere as an option to help you transfer files between devices, you should reconsider. While it's easy enough to use and can even integrate with cloud services, performance is questionable at best and downright useless at worse. You're better off trying something else that provides a more reliable experience and ensure your data is kept safe.
