Mobile | Move files straight from your phone to another device
No uploading to the cloud first, and no emailing files to yourself
Files move straight between your own devices, on a shorter and more private path
Overview
Moving a file from your phone to another device usually means uploading it to a cloud drive, emailing it to yourself, or walking a USB stick across the room. Large files make you wait through two transfers, and your data takes a detour through someone else's service.
HomiPlay has file transfer built in. It creates a secure virtual network between your devices so files move directly from one to the other. You can browse folders, go up a level, create a new folder, and refresh.
Pick a file and the transfer starts. Live transfer speed is shown while it runs, and you can cancel at any point. If the remote device requires an access password, you are prompted for it first, so only you can reach those files.
⚡ More direct: No cloud relay and no physical drive. The file goes where it needs to in one hop.
🔐 More private: Your data never passes through a third-party cloud service.
🗂️ Easier to navigate: Create the destination folder right on the target device, so source and destination stay clear.

How It Works
Install HomiPlay on Both Devices and Sign In
Install HomiPlay on both devices and sign in to the same account, then return to the dashboard and confirm the target device shows as "online." Note: file transfer supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad.
Open "File Transfer" from the Device Menu
In the dashboard device list, open the target device's menu and choose "File Transfer." If that device has an access password set, you will be prompted to enter it before the remote file list loads.
Create a Folder
To create a folder, tap the new folder icon at the top left of the screen, enter a name, and confirm.
Pick Files and Upload
Tap the upload icon at the top left and choose between your photo library and your files. Select what you want to send, then tap the confirm icon at the top right to upload it to the target device.
Finish the Transfer
Once the upload completes, the files appear in the folder you selected on the target device.
