10 Best SHAREit Alternatives for Windows PC (SHAREit-Like Apps)

SHAREit used to be the best file transfer tool for Windows, Android and iOS. But recently, the software has been part of user privacy controversies. For those who don’t know, the Indian government has banned the SHAREit app because of its Chinese connection.

Although you can use SHAREit on a PC, you cannot transfer files between Android and PC. Also, before the ban, the SHAREit desktop client and mobile app started displaying annoying ads. Now that the app is banned in India, it makes sense to look at the alternatives.

As of now, plenty of SHAREit alternatives are available for Windows PC. You can use any of them to transfer files between supported devices. Some apps even offer better features than SHAREit.
