Simple URLs from Safari or Chrome show up as tappable links, but sending from an app like Apple Music or News will add a second time-stamped text file with a brief description. Any link you come across can be instantly delivered to any of your other devices by tapping the DeskConnect icon in the share menu. Instead it provides a quick tutorial on the best new feature of DeskConnect: using the sharing extension inside other apps and browsers. Tapping the fourth button, Send Websites, doesn’t actually send a URL. But either method delivers your document nearly instantly, whether you’re inches or miles away from the recipient. For example, tap Send Document and DeskConnect will bring up your favorite cloud storage location (iCloud, Dropbox, Google, etc.), letting you select which file to send and where to send it.ĭeskConnect installs as a menu bar item on a Mac.Īccomplishing the same task on a Mac, where DeskConnect only exists as a menu bar app, is a little trickier files need to be dragged up to the icon to be sent, making it more of a receiver than a sender. So it’s not that much better than emailing files to myself, at least I know where they’d end up.Inside the app there are four send buttons, three of which will deliver the appropriate item (photo, clipboard contents, or document) to one or all of your other devices. Deskconnect works even if you aren’t really using air drop but a third party program which needs to be installed on both iPhone and Mac.ĭeskConnect does not transfer content locally using Bluetooth or a direct Wi-Fi connection. ~/Library/Containers//Data/Library/Application Support/DeskConnect Thankfully the FAQ is handy and points you to There are no preferences to change where files are stored. Sure there is a recent tab under the icon but where they are on my hard drive I’ve no idea. You’d have thought that selecting multiple photos would be a must have, taking away the laborious process of doing each picture individually.Įven more annoying is that at a glance who knows where Deskconnect is storing the files.

Annoyingly you can only send one photo at a time. Once installed on the Mac it resides up in the menu bar waiting to be paired and running. I’m not 100% sure why you need to sign up for an account but thankfully I’ve a ghost account for that as it could be seen to be a bit dodgy. You need to install both the Mac Client and the iPhone client to send between devices. And yes, we do know you can do it via a Jailbreak but that’s of little use to those who have taken the leap to iOS 7.1.1 DeskConnect Mini Review.

If you have any workaround, hints or tips on how to send files from your iPhone to your Mac please let us know. However there is an alternative.ĭeskConnect For Mac is a FREE download from the Mac App store and will let you transfer files from and to your iPhone.ĭeskConnect – for iPhone will let you push to your Mac. At the moment AirDrop is limited to iOS devices only. The bad news is that AirDropping between an iPhone and a Mac or Macbook isn’t supported. This one had me stumped for a bit, surely there would be a way to use Airdrop to send images to your Mac without having to email or, god forbid, use a cable.
