LanXchange

Although the process of sharing files has been streamlined by cloud services, there is still plenty of room for improvements, at least in terms of speed. When it comes to exchanging files over a local network, LanXchange can make everything as fast and smooth as possible. If you wish to transfer data from one computer to another, over a LAN, this utility lets you do it right away, without having to fiddle with any network and sharing settings.

The application is absolutely free and it is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and you can also find it as a mobile app for Android platforms. There is no need to go through an installation process, so you only need to extract its components from a ZIP archive and run its executable on all you computers. The hardware requirements are modest and you don't have to install any prerequisite tools.

Using LanXchange is quite easy. All you have to do is drag a file and drop it over the application's compact user interface, to make it available to all other machines on your local network. If the application is running on other computers, the file will appear on the interface everywhere on the network.

Of course, the application is not limited to sharing single files. You can also drop file selections over the application's interface or entire folders. The best part is that LanXchange is capable of sharing data between different platforms and operating systems. You can have Windows, Linux and Mac OS X-powered machines on your local network, as well as an Android mobile device, and you will be able to send and receive files between all these devices, without any limitations.

When it comes to sending and receiving files over a local network, everything can be much faster and easier with LanXchange.
