Download shareit apk for Android [All versions]

Shareit is a major android application that can be found in most of the android smartphones. With over 100 million installs directly from the Google Play Store and much more from other sources, Shareit apk is the most popular file sharing app ever developed. Now, it is rather tough to decide whether it is the best file sharing app of not (because other apps like Zapya and Xender are equally good), but if you ask my opinion on the best file sharing app, I would straight away recommend Shareit.

Before we begin

Before I start with this article, I want to give you some basic information about this particular article. Let me tell you the exact flow of the article.

Here is how this article starts.

• Introduction to file sharing
• Best file sharing apps
• About the Shareit apk
• Download Shareit apk
• About Shareit app
• How to install Shareit
• How to use Shareit
• Shareit customer reviews

Let’s Start

Now coming to this particular blog post, I am here going to give you tons of information about Shareit app. Starting from the introduction to file sharing, till the FAQs about Shareit, I will share everything that you will need to get started.

But, first things first, you are here to download that Shareit apk. So, I will be providing that as well and the best part is that I will share all the major versions of Shareit apk.

A very common thing which can be experienced a lot of times is that whenever two people meet, they tend that share some data with each other. Suppose I and you meet after some time, I will share all the news applications which I have installed recently and might also share some movies which I would have downloaded. You too might do that same. And that’s where the concept of file sharing comes into the frame.

Introduction to file sharing

In simple terms, file sharing is the process of sending any format of data (like apk, mp4, mp3, doc etc) from one device to another.

Now, here we are not talking about other devices, so we will consider only Android devices. Coming to the point, there can exist a lot of data that you might want to share with your friends and family members.

This data can include anything from the following

Types of Data

1. Apps
2. Movies
3. Games
4. Songs
5. Documents
6. Videos

And many more data types…

Ways to Transfer Data

In android devices, there are two major ways of transferring data. Either you can transfer data through Bluetooth (Which is built-in almost every device) or you can transfer over a LAN connection. You might already be knowing that sending data through Bluetooth takes a hell lot of time, especially when the data size is large. But transferring data over a LAN connection is super fast. And that is the reason why most of the people prefer LAN over Bluetooth.

Now, transferring via Bluetooth is really very easy because in you already get a “Bluetooth software” built in almost every android device. However, to transfer files via LAN, you need to have some application which would connect two devices and share files between them.

If we consider that aspect then to some extent we can say that sharing files over Bluetooth is better than sharing files over Wifi or LAN. But one of the potential disadvantages of sharing files over Bluetooth is that it is very slow.

Hence Bluetooth takes a lot of time to share one file from one device to another. And that is where the concept of File Sharing apps comes into the scene.

Read the next heading to know more.

File sharing apps

File sharing apps are those apps which connect two different devices over a Wifi or a LAN connection and then share data between them.

In case you do not know how these apps work, you can move on to the “How Shareit works” heading on this particular page to read about the working of Shareit app. All such file sharing apps work in the same manner.

Now, here I am going to tell you about some popular file sharing apps that share data over Wifi

#1 Shareit app

First one in my list is obviously Shareit. In my opinion, shareit is the best file sharing app for android ever developed. Since it is the topic for my entire article, I would not go into much details of Shareit now.

#2 Xender

If Shareit was not a thing, then the app which I would be using for sharing files would be Xender. So this is the second best file sharing app according to me. It also works as fast as Shareit and it very easy to use.

#3 Zapya

The third one if my small list of best android apps is Zapya. I am not saying that Zapya is not better than the other two apps. I personally prefer Shareit and Xender over Zapya, that is why I have placed it in the last. Otherwise, Zapya app is equally good and it all depends on your choice.

So these were the three apps which I generally use for sharing files. There are other amazing apps of course, but I never felt the need to try others as whenever I was in some problem, there three apps came to rescue.

Shareit apk

Since I have now told you that Shareit is the best file sharing app for android, so you would be wishing to try the Shareit app out.

I’m going to help you out with that because that is what I am there for.

I will be telling you about the Shareit apk and how you can download it from our site.

Apks are those file formats which can be executed on Android OS and can be used to install applications. Just like there is .exe in windows, there is .apk in Android.

So,

Shareit apk is just the executable version of the Shareit app. This Shareit apk can be used to install the Shareit app on your android device.

The main benefit of using the Shareit apk is that you will not have to download it from the play store then. If you have the apk file, you can install it whenever you want, even when you are offline.

Another reason to use apks instead of downloading from play store is that apks can be shared with friends very easily. But to share apps downloaded from play store, you need to first convert them into apk and then share them.

Now coming to the downloading part

In the heading mentioned below, I will be sharing the download links to all major versions of the Shareit apk. You can download the apk files by directly clicking on the download links given below.

Like it is as easy as drinking coffee.

Let me tell you how you can use the Shareit app

How to send and receive files using the Shareit app.

So the basic purpose of using this particular app is sharing files, right? Now sharing can be anything. Either you can send files to someone of receive files from someone. I will explain steps for both.

Send Files

Follow the steps given below to send files to your friend.

But, before you start sending, make sure that your friend has already clicked on the “Receive” button on his Shareit app.

Okay then, get started with the steps

• Open the Shareit app.
• Click on the “Send” button.
• Select the files which you want to send.
• You can also select multiple files.

How Shareit works

Okay, so this is something that a lot of people ask me.

How Shareit works? 

What is the secret behind Shareit?

How can shareit send files so fast?

These are some of the questions that I usually get from my readers. So in this section, I will be answering this question.

Now to make the answer more interesting, I will again divide the paragraph into points to that you do not feel bored while reading it.

• So basically, Shareit works on a LAN (Local Area Network) which means that two devices are directly connected to each other.
• When you click on the Receive button, what happens is that Shareit creates a Wifi Hotspot from your device.
• And when the sender clicks on the send button and chooses the files to share, he sees an option to select your avatar.
• This avatar comes only when you have already clicked on the “Receive” button.
• The Shareit app from the sender’s device scans for available Wifi Networks( or the hotspot which you have created)
• Once you click on your friend’s Avatar, the sender’s device gets connected to the receiver’s device.
• Now all the work is done by the app. The app uses Peer-to-peer technology to transfer files from one place to another.

This is a simple procedure of the working of the Shareit app.

Features of Shareit app

When it comes to features, Shareit has tons of them. With every update, they tend to add one amazing feature to its existing lot of features.

In this section, I will discuss some of the major features of the Shareit app which make is the best file sharing app out there in the market.

Benefits of using Shareit over other apps

This is another question that a lot of people ask me frequently. Though I had planned to answer it in the FAQs section, but since it can go beyond one line, so I decided to write it in a separate heading.

Now coming to the benefits of Shareit over other apps, I would say that there is no major difference between other apps and Shareit. All of them work on the same principle.

Comparing the speeds of Shareit and other apps, I can say that Shareit is slightly faster. Though it doesn’t make much difference to the overall experience, but still that keeps Shareit on a higher position.

Another reason why I prefer Shareit over other apps is that Shareit has comparatively lesser ads than other apps.

So the overall UI of Shareit is better than other apps and that is why I prefer it over other apps.

Talking about the overall ratings, here are some official stats about the app.

Positive Reviews

It’s a comfortingly smooth way to transfer files. Even It takes really very less time comparing to Bluetooth and other file sharing apps.. with easy procedures. I just love using this app. But sometimes it gets corrupted during transferring files between phone and computer. So my request to shareit team is to fix the problem. Thanks a ton

Great app to transfer files to an iPhone 6 which NEVER ACCEPTS any files from an non iPhone. Nice idea to transfer files via Wi-Fi. Bluetooth has become OBSOLETE after arrival of this technology! Waiting for Blue tooth’s next gen innovation how it competes with this one!

Negative Reviews

This app is getting worse over time.. Now everything works fine except the basic sending and receiving features. The quality of ads is quite awesome. Now the ads appear in full hd.. and at last thanks for taking my precious time away the most when i need it the most by wishing me all the hell lot of festivals like holi, diwali, christmas, eid, lohri, makar sakranti, raksha bandhan, dhanteras, dussehra,women’s day, father’s day, mother’s day, daughter’s day, children’s day, valentine’s day.

Suggestions 

 Its a best app, no doubt. But there are many who wants to share files over a distance. Then gmail has its limits and so does cloud sharing helps. But that gets bit complicated at a time. So why don’t you include this feature in Share it and let everyone use Share it for all types of file transfer over any distance. That’d be great. P.S. Check out “Send Anywhere” app.
