Wirelessly share files

between all your devices

2

Choose a device and installFeem v4 on it (we’ve installed

it on an iPad). Linkstothe mobile apps can befoundat

feem.io. You don’t havetogiveFeem permissiontosend

you notifications^1 butyou do havetoallow accesstophotos,

files andfolders.The Windowsversion triggers the ‘Windows

protectedyour PC’ screen – click ‘More info’tobypass it.

1

The most likelyreason whyFeem might notwork is

becauseyour devices aren’t all on the same network. Ifyou

havemore than one network(such as 2.4GHz and 5GHz),

make sureeverything’s on the same one. InWindows, click the

‘Internet access’ symbol in the notification area.^1 Compare

networks withyour mobile devices.^2

3

You’re shown what networkyou’re on^1 and the device is

given a name.^2 The initials in the iconreflect the name of

the device,^3 with another icon that showswhat kind of

device it’s installed on.^4 This helpsyou distinguishyour

devices whenyou add more.Install the software or app on any

other devicesyou wanttoshare files between.

4

Asyou installFeem on each device,you should see them

appear on each others’ screens. If one device doesn’t

appear on the others, check it’s on thecorrect network,^1

then close the app andrestart it. Here,on theWindowsapp,

you can see it’s connectedtoan Android^2 and an Apple^3

device.

W

hy is it that the file you want to use is never on the

right device? Whether it’s a photo on your

Android phone that you want to edit on your PC,

or a document on your PC that you want to read on your

iPad, you need to jump through hoops to email it to yourself

or sync it through the cloud. Either of these options means

uploading, downloading and switching between devices

and apps, leaving a trai l of files behind you.

Feem cuts all this nonsenseto its simplest level, letting

you share files between anycombination ofyour

devices, whether they runWindows, Android, iOS,

macOS or Linux, as long as they’re allconnectedto

the same wireless network.You don’teven needto

be connectedto the internet.

Andy Shaw says

The freeversion ofFeem is surprisingly

powerful but there are afew advantages

toupgradingtoa paid-for plan, such as

sharing files between a lot of devicesat

once,changing the slightly daft device

names or changing the default download

folder.You can do this through the

Device Settings option onceyou’ve

upgraded. MovingtoProcosts $4.99

(around £3.81)for 1-4 devices, and $9.99

(around £7.63)for 5-19 devices.
