Cross-platform file transfer
The Send Anywhere alternative
Send Anywhere made cross-device sharing easy with a 6-digit key — but the free tier leans on ads and routes everything through the cloud. BIShare keeps the simple code, drops the ads, and adds instant nearby transfer that never uploads your file. Free, end-to-end encrypted, no account.
Why switch from Send Anywhere?
Send Anywhere works, but the free experience is wrapped in ads, and even a quick cross-room transfer is uploaded to their servers first. BIShare gives you the same effortless link and 6-character code with no ads and no account — and when both devices are nearby, it skips the cloud entirely and beams the file straight across, end-to-end encrypted.
How BIShare sends your files
In the same room
BIShare sends the file directly device-to-device, end-to-end encrypted — no upload, no ads, no waiting. It even works over a hotspot with no internet.
Across any distance
Share a link, QR code, or 6-character code. The recipient opens it in any browser and downloads — no app, no account. The link auto-expires after 24 hours.
On every platform
iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux — one app, any direction. Phone to laptop, PC to phone, or to anyone with just a browser.

BIShare. It keeps the simple 6-character code and link sharing, but with no ads and no account — and adds instant nearby device-to-device transfer that never uploads your file.
Is BIShare free with no ads?
Yes. BIShare is free to send and receive, with no ads and no sign-up. Nearby transfers and 100 GB share links are all included at no cost.
