Better Share quick start: browser sharing and receiving
Better Share works inside one LAN with no account or server. The first run takes three steps: start sharing, scan to open, and review incoming files when needed.
Start a browser share
Choose a file or folder on the Overview or Download share page, and Better Share creates a LAN link, QR code, and short code.
A phone, tablet, or computer scans the QR code or enters the short code to download in a browser; no Better Share installation is required.
Guest uploads and review
Enable guest uploads and choose require confirmation, accept automatically, or refuse. With confirmation, uploads wait in the Receive review queue.
The review panel lists each file's name, size, extension-based risk hint, destination, and free space. Choose a conflict policy or accept only some of the files.
iPhone Screenshots to Mac
Create a screenshot automation in iPhone Shortcuts and post captures to the private upload address Better Share shows.
Screenshots land in a dedicated folder on the Mac and can be previewed, opened, copied, or shown in Finder; reset the upload token when needed.
LAN and security boundaries
The browser channel serves HTTP only inside the LAN, with no cloud relay or internet transfer. The extension-based risk hint is not a virus scan, and network files receive the macOS quarantine attribute.
The current version does not provide device-to-device transfer or AirDrop integration; use system AirDrop directly when supported.
