Send Anywhere App Download
Mirtha Goss
I was hoping someone would be interested in picking up maintaining the Sendanywhere package. The Chrome plugin is ok, but the app is better. I cannot install it on a new installation from the AUR anymore due to build errors and I'm not in the knowledge of creating/maintaining an AUR package. This is a very cool Android app and desktop app that has much more power than Superbeam. Here's the link to the AUR package:
And a link to the Send Anywhere Downloads section where they have a compiled .deb installer for Ubuntu:
-anywhere.com/file-transfer
The binary had changed location so chrpath fails. The pkgver generated contained a - so that fails both fixed.
The license file formally at usr/share/doc/sendanywhere/copyright is missing left unfixed, control claims the license is ISC but not independently verified.
package function should probably be reworked.
I like it's simplicity. My go to app for my own wireless phone-desktop transfers was Superbeam. Unfortunately hat project is no longer being developed and I'm having problems on Android 8.1. So I came across SendAnywhere as a replacement. What I like about Superbeam is how simple it is. Install the app, install the desktop client, and any file you drag into, it a QR code is generated and you read the code with the app on your phone and it sends the file. No typing, nothing, done. Same thing from phone to computer (if you have a camera), if you don't have a camera it's a simple 6 digit code. This program SendAnywhere does the same thing the Superbeam does plus adds the ability to share your links with other people. I did not look into the source code, but my initial understanding was that it did not have access to your files, only your sharing links (if you generated any). Thanks for pointing that info out, I may need to look for some other alternatives.
Original AUR maintainer here (and don't shout at me for the allegedly *dreadful* PKGBUILD).
Since I no longer use sendanywhere, I have no interest in fixing the PKGBUILD everytime it breaks (apparently estmob does not have any interest in maintaining it either last time I asked).
With the four tools above you can create your own sendanywhere package from the scratch - almost automagically.
Some user intervention maybe needed at times.
You wouldn't even have to use the current AUR PKGBUILD! Good luck!
Our updated SendAnywhere AUR package is working and that's great. Thanks again for getting this for us. A bit off topic, but now that I've tried so many alternatives I've found SendAnywhere to perform slowly on transfers compared to other programs and it also doesn't seem to transfer folders properly (it'll send the files within the folder, but not the folders themselves). I've been doing a lot of testing with EasyJoin, and I'm really enjoying this program. I think this may interest some of you here and the possibility of someone creating an AUR package would be really nice. I don't want to change the direction of this thread, but figured I'd throw it out there. Here's EasyJoin's Linux site:
The best part of sending files using these codes (One Time Key) is that once the codes are used, they'll no longer be valid. This means only the person to whom you've sent the code will be able to download the files.
In 2012, Send Anywhere started. It was very difficult to send and receive large files across PCs and mobile devices. To eliminate the inconveniences of file transfer, Send Anywhere provided a function to share in any size, any type, or the number of files regardless of the device or OS, and is still very popular.

One winner will receive 2000 to travel to their chosen destination and create a new body of work. British Journal of Photography will showcase the project with a major online feature and five runners-up will also receive coverage.
iFiles also lets you share files directly with other mobile devices over Bluetooth, and it allows you to send files via email from within the app. In addition, it connects with a host of cloud services, including Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more.
Send Anywhere uses peer-to-peer file transfer technology. The way it works means that users don't need to sign-up, log-in, or even know their recipients' contact information. They simply select the files they want to send and get a six-digit one-time key that is only available for 10 minutes before it self-destructs. The code is then sent to the recipient who uses it to download the files.
The updated iOS version offers more complex encryption codes for better security along with a fresher, cleaner design. In addition it has a feature to make sharing the key easier, holding the center of the Send screen automatically copies the key to the clipboard. Pressing a Share button then gives easy access to email and messaging in order to send it.
This open source icon is named "send anywhere" and is licensed under the open source CC BY 4.0 license. It's available to be downloaded in SVG and PNG formats (available in 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 PNG sizes).
It's part of the icon set "Arcticons Icon Pack", which has 5,605 icons in it.
If you need this icon available in another format, it should be pretty straight forward to download it as an SVG image file, and then import it into apps like Adobe Illustrator, Illustrator, Photoshop or RelayThat. Converting it to an ICO, JPEG or WebP image format or file type should also be pretty simple (we hope to add that feature to Iconduck soon).
Send Anywhere service introduced itself in the market in 2012, and ever since, it has gained immense popularity. While it became one of the most revered transfer services, people found it a go-to service. Send Anywhere for PC has normalized the approach of sending files at a fast speed.
As it displays itself as a robust solution to send data anywhere between devices, this platform has become diversely compatible. You can utilize Send Anywhere for huge data transfers between all forms of devices without breaking a sweat.
Step 2: As you click the button, you will be led to a new screen for browsing the respective file or files. On adding the files successfully, a list of different options appears at the bottom of the sending menu.
Step 4: For sending the files as a link, select the "Link" option from the bottom, and a screen appears with a link and a QR code. Scan the QR code or copy the link to share with other users.
Step 1: Launch the application Send Anywhere after downloading it successfully. For example, if we are transferring data from iPhone to Android, tap on "Send" from the bottom and select the respective data that you wish to send.
The user can send the files using any five methods available on the app. They can use a randomly-generated 6-digit code and share with the recipient before it expires. The user can also send a sound wave at a unique frequency to the recipient. The code and the sound wave expire in 10 minutes.
Send Anywhere (send-anywhere.com) launched in early 2013 on iOS and Android, and now a port of the app by the company is available on Windows Phone. The free service works by uploading to a server the intended file, generating a numeric code, which you then give to the recipient. Using the same app, the receiver enters the unique code and retrieves the file to download to their device.
Send Anywhere for Windows Phone is not a pretty port, but it works. Graphics overlap on the right edges, and the stodgy UI looks extremely basic. However, putting aside aesthetic concerns, the app does what it is intended to do, send those files.
The question for many is on Windows Phone, just how much can you send? The Windows Phone OS is typically more locked down than Android, so sending everything in the file directory is usually not possible, but surprisingly a large number of files are supported, including:
Overall, it is great to see Send Anywhere jump to Windows Phone, even if the coding (and the copy paste app details in the Store) are a bit sloppy. Besides Android, iOS and Windows Phone, you can also share files via their website send-anywhere.com or through their beta Windows desktop app.
The free web transfer process will allow you to transfer files up to 2Gb in size. But you can also download a free app to initiate send and receive functions for files up to 20Gb in size and you can have the system generate a link that will be valid for up to 24 hours!
This is not just for Windows either. You can send and receive files from and to any device. Transfer photos from iPhones without using iTunes. You can pull pictures or documents off your android device and send them to your Mac without using a third party tool.
To test this idea of sending any file from any device to another, I downloaded the free app on my iPhone which took just a few seconds and then I gave it permission to access my photos. It asked to send me notifications, but I declined as was my preference. I picked a photo and pushed the send button. You can select multiple photos if you prefer but for this test, I just picked one.
