QuickSend App

QuickSend App is a Windows application that proposes a simple and straightforward way of sending and receiving files from other people using the same program.

It also gives you the possibility to communicate through text messages. The tool works not only within local networks but also allows file transfers between any two machines worldwide.

Following a quick setup operation, the utility gets integrated into the Windows autorun sequence so that it launches itself automatically every time you turn on the computer. This can be later disabled, though, from the right-click menu of the systray icon.

Upon deploying QuickSend App, it creates an icon in the systray and brings up the main app window, where it's necessary to create an account on the spot using a name and password. You can immediately log into the app after this step.

Otherwise, you can explore additional options, such as allowing the tool to automatically log you in next time you start it up, prevent it from saving your password, or telling it that you're logging in from someone else's system. Once this step is completed, you reach the chatroom where all QuickSend App users are displayed. At this point, you can select any user from the list and begin a conversation by sending a text message. Afterward, you can start sending files by dragging and dropping the items in a box.

On the bright side, this means that file operations can be performed effortlessly. On the downside, the receiver doesn't get the chance to agree or decline the file transfer via a confirmation messages, which means that anyone in the chatroom can send files to anyone else (including infected files if malicious intents exist).

According to the developer, files are not saved on the application's server, thanks to data-transit technology, and personal data is protected due to "New Generation Steam Encryption". A bit of room is left for customization since it's possible to set your location, a brief description, and a profile photo. Accounts can be disconnected and deleted on the spot.

While we can appreciate the concept behind QuickSend App to facilitate file transfers as quickly as possible (especially since it uses open-source code), it's clear that additional work is needed in the development department.

Besides the previously mentioned lack of security regarding file transfers (at least a confirmation message would be welcomed), the application often becomes laggy (responds to commands slowly), whether you're trying to log in, send or receive a text message or file. We are, however, interested in future updates that resolve these issues and add more features (such as private chatrooms).
