SHAREit 6.54.58 for Android

SHAREit 6.54.58 is an Android app from SHAREit Technologies for sending files between nearby devices without cables and without spending mobile data. You can download SHAREit for Android via the official website ushareit.com and share photos, videos and documents with friends in a few taps.

Who it is for

SHAREit is used above all where people want to move big files quickly and cheaply. Think of friends swapping holiday videos after a trip, a family moving photos from an old phone to a new one, classmates sharing lecture recordings, or someone who needs to pass a large document to a colleague in the same room. Sending such files through a messenger or email compresses them or uses expensive mobile data, and cloud uploads take time on a slow connection. A nearby transfer app solves this by connecting the devices directly. It suits users of budget phones and prepaid plans in particular, where every megabyte counts. If you rarely share more than a few pictures, the tools already built into your phone or your messenger may be enough, and there is no need for another app.

How to install and use it

1. Install SHAREit from Google Play or through the links on ushareit.com.

3. On the sending phone, choose the files and select Send; on the other phone, choose Receive.
4. Wait until the transfer completes and check the files in the receiving folder.

Privacy and safety

Accept transfers only from people you know, and check files you receive, especially APK installers, before opening them. Review notifications and permissions in the settings and turn off what you do not use. Install SHAREit only from Google Play or the official site, since modified versions that promise no ads are a common source of malware.

Price

SHAREit is free to use.

If the transfer fails

Keep the phones close, turn off battery saver and any VPN, and make sure both have enough free storage. Restarting the app on both devices often fixes connection problems.

Moving to a new phone

When you switch phones, send photos and videos in several smaller batches rather than one huge transfer, and keep both devices charged. Check a few files on the new phone before deleting anything on the old one.
