Great for offline sharing, not for sending files remotely.
SHAREit is hugely popular in India for peer-to-peer file sharing over local WiFi, it is fast and free for transferring files between devices in the same room. But it does not work for sending files to someone in a different city or country over the internet.
QikDrive sends files to anyone, anywhere, over the internet via a link. SHAREit requires both devices to be on the same WiFi network.
QikDrive generates a browser link. Recipients don't install anything. SHAREit requires the app on both sender and receiver devices.
QikDrive transfers are TLS-encrypted with auto-expiring links. SHAREit has faced multiple security vulnerability reports over the years.
SHAREit and QikDrive serve completely different use cases. If you need to share files with someone remotely, a client, a colleague, or anyone not in the same room, QikDrive is the right tool.
SHAREit dominates local device-to-device sharing in India and that's what it's best at. QikDrive fills the gap SHAREit can't, sending files to someone in another city, sharing with a client, or requesting files from a remote colleague.
Send up to 5 GB for free. No credit card, no signup needed to receive files.
