Help & Info about SHAREit for Android

  • What is SHAREit for Android?

    SHAREit is a software application which provides users with nearly unparalleled transfer speeds. It can be used to send and receive files between disparate devices and velocities, and is said to be one of the fastest in the industry today.

  • How fast can files be sent and uploaded with SHAREit?

    The developers of SHAREit claim that transfer speeds as high as 20 megabytes per second are possible (assuming that a strong connection can be maintained between two devices). This is roughly the equivalent of 200 times faster than standard Bluetooth connectivity. SHAREit is therefore ideal when sending large packets of data (such as HD films or lengthy media content).

  • What is the maximum wireless sharing range associated with SHAREit?

However, it is also important to note that no Internet connection is required for two users to share files with one another.
