Send files from your phone to a PC.

Let the PC show the room, scan it from the phone, choose files and keep the transfer live in the browser.

    The short answer
    A simple mixed-device path
    
      
    The PC does not need a camera if the phone scans its QR code. The phone can then become the sender even though the PC opened the room.
    Documents and archives transfer unchanged. Photos and videos can use Smart Send to flag compatibility issues such as HEIC or HEVC before the receiver spends time saving the file.
    
    
    

    
    
      
    How to do it
    Three steps, in the browser.
    
      
      
      
    1. 1
      Open Receive on the PC
      A QR code and room link appear.
      2. 
      
    2. 2
      Scan from the phone
      The joined phone is told that it is the sender.
      3. 
      
    3. 3
      Choose and send files
      The receiver accepts a save location before bytes move.

    • Folder hierarchy not preserved
    • Large transfers need power and storage
    
    
    

    
    
      
    Why room direction is flexible
    The device that opens a room and the device that sends the file are separate roles in FCShare.
    
      
    Smart media behavior
    Only media that could benefit from compatibility advice pauses for Smart Send. PDFs and other common documents stay immediate.
    

    
    
      
    Questions people ask
    
      
    
      
    Does the PC need a camera?
    No. Let the phone scan the PC code.
    
      
    Can I select multiple files?
    Yes, where the phone picker supports it.
    
      
    Can I transfer over different networks?
    Often yes, using direct WebRTC or TURN fallback.
