Send2Phone 2022.5.1

What Send2Phone does

Send2Phone from Abelssoft (Ascora GmbH) is a lightweight bridge for moving files, links and text between PCs and mobile devices. The Android app pairs with a Windows client so you can push photos, documents, music and URLs back and forth without cables. It supports multiple devices per account and is geared toward quick one‑click transfers rather than full cloud syncing.

Key features

• Cross‑device transfers: Send files and links between Windows PCs and Android phones and tablets. Multiple devices can be connected and used simultaneously.
• Simple workflow: Designed for fast transfers — send one file or several at once with a minimal interface and a three‑step setup.
• Wide format support: Photos, music (MP3), documents, PDFs and most common file formats are supported.
• Offline delivery: Messages and files are queued and delivered when the destination device next comes online, which is convenient when devices are not always powered.
• Optional strong encryption: The paid Plus option adds AES‑256 encryption for secure transmission of sensitive data.
• Free tier and Plus upgrade: A free version is available with file size limitations and ads; the Plus upgrade raises per‑file limits and enables encryption.

Pricing and limits

• Free version: Allows transfers but limits individual file size (reported around 2 MB in older listings).
• Plus / paid option: Increases the per‑file transfer limit (commonly cited up to 100 MB) and enables AES‑256 encryption. The desktop software from Abelssoft is commercially sold on the developer site for additional features and cross‑platform support.

Performance and reliability

For many users Send2Phone is quick and convenient for small to medium files and one‑off link or note transfers. Because it focuses on simplicity, it avoids cloud uploads by delivering directly between devices or queuing for later delivery.

Known issues and limitations

• File size and format edge cases: Some users report corrupt transfers for certain file types (for example .mp4 or .apk) and note that large files beyond the paid limit aren’t supported.
• Metadata handling: File timestamps and attributes may be replaced by the transfer date; checksums and preserved attributes are not guaranteed.
• Pairing and connectivity: A minority of reviews mention pairing problems between phone and PC or files not arriving despite shown transfers; results can depend on network configuration and firewall settings.
• Mixed ratings: The Play Store listing shows a modest average rating with both helpful and critical feedback — worth testing the free tier first for your workflows.

Security and privacy

Send2Phone can encrypt transmitted data with AES‑256 when you purchase the Plus option. The developer states that data is not shared with third parties and transfers are direct; still, users who require strict file integrity guarantees should validate transfers and consider encrypted workflows for sensitive content.

Who should use Send2Phone

1. Users who need an easy, ad‑free way to push links, notes and moderate‑sized files between a Windows PC and Android phone without cables.
2. People who value quick setup and device‑to‑device delivery or queuing for offline devices.
3. Those who want optional AES‑256 encryption for occasional secure transfers and are comfortable with the paid Plus limits.

Tips for best results

• Test with small files first to confirm pairing, firewall and network paths are working before sending larger items.
• Enable the Plus option if you need larger file transfers or end‑to‑end encryption.
• Check file integrity: For important files, compare sizes or use a checksum tool after transfer to ensure no corruption occurred.
• Keep apps updated: Use the latest Android app and Windows client from Abelssoft to benefit from bug fixes and compatibility updates.

Availability and developer

Send2Phone is available on Google Play (free with ads and an optional Plus upgrade) and the desktop client can be downloaded from the Abelssoft website. The app and desktop tools are produced by Ascora GmbH / Abelssoft, a Germany‑based developer known for a range of utility apps.
