Transfer files

Easily transfer files and folders between your device and the end-user's device using 247connect. Drag and drop functionality, along with quick access to navigation and filtering tools, makes organising and transferring your files both flexible and straightforward.

Note: File transfer is not supported on the macOS Agent. This feature is only available on Windows and Android Agents.

  2. Select the device from a device group.

Both are focused on the Documents folder, listing subfolders such as My Music, My Pictures, My Videos, and a desktop.ini file. The toolbar includes options such as Copy File, Create Folder, Select, Print, Recent Files, Add, Remove, View, Chat and Message. The session has been active for 00:51 and uses AES (P2P) encryption.
