SHAREit alternative: send files to any phone or PC, no app
SHAREit and Xender were the go-to apps for sending big files without internet until they were blocked in India in 2020. Ask VX's VX Share does the same job without asking the other person to install anything: they scan a QR code and download in their browser, on the same Wi-Fi or your phone's hotspot.
How to do it with Ask VX
- Open Ask VX, select the files and tap Share → VX Share.
- The other person scans the QR code with their camera (Android, iPhone or a laptop).
- Files download in their browser at full quality — no app, no account, no mobile data.
- To receive from an iPhone or PC, open VX Share → Receive and let them upload from their browser.
