One of the most common tasks we perform when connected to the Internet is sending or receiving files, transferring them for some, a procedure we carry out regardless of their format or size. However, many apps we may have installed and used for these purposes have certain limits that can complicate our lives when dealing with large files or unusual endings.

Then, a series of software specially oriented to sending or receiving files appear, of those that never send messages talking about lack of support or maximum sizes exceeded. Send Anywhere is one of them.

Operation

As it is clear, Send Anywhere is a platform thanks to which we are going to share with our colleagues, relatives, or loved ones files available on the computer, regardless of their format or size. This tool, which knows no restrictions, is also completely free, although later, we will talk about a Plus version that adds some other functions that could be useful in some instances.

From the first moment, it stands out because it meets precisely the type of features that we expect to find in these cases, ranging from the speed of sending to the security that no one can access the files we are sharing, as well as some additional ones such as the anonymity of those who participate in the process.

This multi-platform program, which, thanks to this quality, enables the sending and receiving of files between computers with different operating systems, also has two other transfer mechanisms, among which you will have to choose when necessary. The first one is instantaneous, in which no data is stored on the contents, and the second one is in which the file is hosted on its servers and available for 24 hours.

In either case, as we said before, you can rest assured that you do not have to register or provide personal data, but you will not need to add any of your email accounts or anything like that. That is to say, you can use this service in any circumstance, and when you are done, you can forget about it, knowing that you don't need to log out, delete your account, or anything like that.

There are also alternatives to customize the transfers, such as adding a unique password to access the contents, allowing us to send it to the person who will receive the file so that no one else can see it. On the other hand, generating a download link is possible, saving us a lot of time if we have several people to send the same file to.

To be taken into account.

This program has a Plus version, as we mentioned before, which takes its capacity to the extreme, although in this case, we have to register to prove that we have made the payment and add some personal information. Its price, $5.99 per month, does not seem excessive, especially for work environments where everyone can use it in an office.

We liked the user interface of Send Anywhere because of the perfectly organized files we shared, which we believe avoids confusion or the typical situation of losing sight of them. Also, using different tones is key to making the user experience intuitive, even if we do not have experience with these applications.

The best

This is a handy utility, unlike many others that promise and then do not deliver much, and it is that we are in the presence of a means of file transfer that allows you to send or receive them in real-time without delays or problems. In addition, as we can add a unique password that only the recipient will know, we ensure that no third party has the possibility of accessing these materials.

The Worst

Among the criticisms that we can make to this application, one of the main ones is its lack of ability to adapt to older versions of operating systems, which curiously clashes with the fact that it works in several of them. On the other hand, we do not have a version translated into other languages, which can be annoying for users who don't understand English.

Rating

In general terms, we believe that Send Anywhere has the potential to become our daily file transfer assistant, both in its basic version and in the Plus version with its extra options. Our advice, as always, is to start with the simplest variant, and if you think you need some additional tools, then leap to the other one.
