While this app does a decent job with file sharing, it has plenty of other tools to play with. The SHAREit PC version is the fastest for creating a hotspot. It’s easy to set up, and you simply choose what you want to share and hit send to transfer files. For file-sharing, all you need is more than one device and a wireless hotspot. One of the best parts of this application is that it doesn’t require an internet connection. If you miss a step or two, you’ll have to start all over again.
These devices have a strict operating system and take some time to configure. There are also a few issues when you try to send something to an iPad or iPhone. This is because later installments of Windows have better built-in compatibility with other operating systems on the whole. SHAREit for Windows XP, for example, stutters and can’t keep a stable connection. However, older operating systems and devices might struggle. Most modern hardware can handle this app just fine. If you need to send important documents or images, SHAREit is your best bet. When you send a 320kb/s song to your phone, it stays the same throughout the process. This app, however, is faithful to the original specs for each file. Many times, other applications lower the quality of larger transfers to save space. SHAREit has no size limitations, so you’re free to send as many large files as you’d like. You can share similar information with WhatsApp, for example, but it caps transfers at 16mb. This restriction is present on many platforms. If you’ve ever tried to send a large file via email, then you’ve likely seen a message stating a size limit.

This is more than 200 times faster than a Bluetooth connection. Surprisingly, it can also reach up to 20mb/s on a transfer over wi-fi.
This works even when each of these is a different brand. You can share the same file with up to five devices at a time. This program also supports multiple connections at once. There are few issues when establishing a connection between different devices. It brings all the different platforms together and makes them work together in harmony. You can run SHAREit on Windows, Android, iOS, and Mac.

The feature will require the user to enter a password which then tells SHAREit to encrypt the transmission between users and devices.What this application might lack in functionality, it makes up for with compatibility. With the update, Lenovo has added a new "Secure Mode" to its SHAREit app that can be enabled by users when they want to connect to another user securely. The transfer of files was done via HTTP and is without encryption which makes it easy for an attacker to sniff the network traffic to view the data transferred or modify the content of the transferred files, the report. "When the Wi-Fi network is on and connected with the default password (12345678), the files can be browsed but not downloaded by performing an HTTP Request to the WebServer launched by Lenovo SHAREit," adds the team. Considering that the password could not be changed, any system with a Wi-Fi network card could connect to the Hotspot by using the password. The biggest issue of the free app from Lenovo was its hard-coded password of "12345678" which could be easily bypassed by any attacker.Ĭore Security team explains that when Lenovo SHAREit for Windows app is configured to receive files, a Wi-Fi hotspot is set with a hard-coded password ("12345678").
