Free. Bigger files away from Wi-Fi with Pro
Send files between your Android phone and your Mac
No cable, and no uploading to a cloud drive just to download it again. Share a file from your phone or drop one on your Mac, and it lands on the other device.
How it works
- 1
Pick a file
On your phone, share it to Crosslink from any app. On your Mac, drop it on Crosslink in the menu bar or choose Send file.
- 2
It takes the fastest way
On the same Wi-Fi, the file goes straight across. Anywhere else, it goes through our server, end-to-end encrypted.
- 3
It’s saved
The file lands in the Downloads folder on the other device.
What you get
Any size on Wi-Fi
On your own Wi-Fi there’s no size limit, and the file never leaves your network.
Works away from home
Not on the same Wi-Fi? Files go through our server, up to 25 MB each on Free and 500 MB each on Pro.
Waits for you
If your other device is off, the encrypted file waits for up to 24 hours, then it’s deleted.
Private
Our server can’t see a file’s name, type or contents. Only your own devices hold the keys.
Good to know
- If the Wi-Fi link drops partway, Crosslink sends the file again through the server, starting over rather than resuming.
- You can turn off server transfers, so files only ever move over your own Wi-Fi.
Private by design
- End-to-end encryptedOnly your own devices hold the keys, so not even we can read what you send.
- Pairing, not passwordsA stolen password isn’t enough. Every new device needs a scan or your approval.
- Every switch is yoursEach feature has its own switch, and the sensitive ones only turn on from your phone.
Questions
How do I transfer files from Android to Mac without a cable?
Install Crosslink on both and pair them. Then share any file to Crosslink on your phone, and it appears in your Mac’s Downloads folder. From the Mac, drop a file on Crosslink in the menu bar.
Is there a file size limit?
Not on the same Wi-Fi. Through our server, each file can be up to 25 MB on Free and 500 MB on Pro.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. On the same Wi-Fi, files go directly, which is fastest. Anywhere else they go through our server, still end-to-end encrypted.
