Send Anywhere alternative tool “CopyTrans Filey” might be useful for transferring files between Win and iPad? | Studio-DE-

Until now, there was a problem transferring files between an iPad and a Windows computer.Send anywhereI was using Send Anywhere, but the PC version seemed to be doing something in the background, and when I noticed, Send Anywhere took about 30% of my CPU usage. I felt like my computer was slowing down, so I stopped using it, but it was uncomfortable. But I don’t want to use Send Anywhere, which is full of ads and heavy. (Maybe it’s just a matter of using the browser version.)

When I was looking for an alternative tool, I always found it useful for transferring music to my iPhone.CopyTrans ManagerIs it called a “brother tool?”copytrans fileIt seems easy to use, so I decided to try it right away.

copytrans file

“CopyTrans Filey” is a program that can transfer files between iPhone and PC. Easily transfer files by drag and drop, manage app files, and delete unnecessary files. Also, after connecting the cable and making the initial settings, you can transfer files over Wi-Fi, so you can transfer files without a cable.

By the way, the PC side only supports Windows, not Mac.

use

I will show you how to use it after installation.

Connect the device

Connect your iPhone/iPad to your computer with a cable.

Choose whether to connect via Wi-Fi

If you want to connect to a Wi-Fi network, select “Use Wi-Fi” and left-click on “Start”.

Send or receive files

You can check the connected device’s name, capacity and connection status at the top right of the screen.

An interesting point

This is what I found, for good or bad.

Operation only from a computer

Sent and received files can only be transferred from a computer. It would have been better if I could select and transfer files from my iPhone or iPad like Send Anywhere.

However, it is convenient to select the application and transfer files from the computer to the device by dragging and dropping.

Not compatible with pre-installed iOS apps

CopyTrans Filey does not support pre-installed apps on iOS. In other words, you can’t transfer files like the Photos app or the Notes app. However, it does support many popular third-party apps. For example, VLC, Microsoft Office, Acrobat Reader, Davinci Resolve, etc.

The secret is the ability to transfer files over Wi-Fi

Once you are done with the initial settings with the USB connection, you will be able to connect via Wi-Fi from the second time onwards. I’m a little worried.

If you don’t mind that, I think it’s a useful tool that allows you to transfer files in the background even if you put your iPad to sleep or do something else.

Which is faster, Wi-Fi connection or USB, file transfer?

As a test, I measured the time it took to connect to Wi-Fi and USB networks when sending a 4.78GB ZIP file to a computer.

It seems to be outputting about 50-100mbps when connected to Wi-Fi, but something is a bit flaky.

On the other hand, at the time of USB connection, it is not known how much faster the file transfer will be, but it is completed in only 3 minutes. Transferring large amounts of data via USB is much faster.

Good thing it doesn’t move when it’s on standby

Send Anywhere always uses about 30% of your CPU while in the background, but “CopyTrans Filey” doesn’t show any ads and doesn’t use your CPU when you’re on standby. Also, since it will immediately end with the close button, you don’t have to worry about strange motions in the background.

Not only can you transfer files, but you can also delete files on your device.

Send Anywhere is a file transfer tool, but “CopyTrans Filey” can also delete unnecessary files in iPhone/iPad. After transferring files, files that are no longer needed can be deleted remotely from your computer, which is convenient.

summary

CopyTrans Filey is a useful tool that allows you to transfer files between iPhone and PC. Easily transfer files by drag and drop, manage app files, and delete unnecessary files. You can also transfer files over Wi-Fi, so you can transfer files without cables.

For people who frequently transfer files between iPhone and PC, people who want to manage apps files, people who want to delete unnecessary files, people who want to transfer files via Wi-Fi is recommended.
