BitTorrent has been releasing some pretty solid software as it attempts to expand outside of traditional file-sharing. The company’s current software lineup already includes an experimental web browser, a file synchronization tool, and a secure instant messaging service, but the company continues to add more. The latest such service is known as Shoot, which is a new app that allows you to share files across mobile platforms. The transfers are quick, simple, and there’s no limit to how large the file size is!
It’s mind-boggling how complicated sending a simple file can be, even in the midst of all the technological advancements we have developed. Most internet services have size limitations; Bluetooth is slow and sometimes doesn’t work when using different platforms; and you could just use a microSD card, but a lot of newer phones are no longer supporting those. Not to mention – who even wants to deal with the hassle of manually transferring a file? BitTorrent has just released an app that could end all the torments involved with sharing a photo or video. The application is called Shoot, and it allows you to conveniently send files to your friends. It is amazingly easy to operate and has no size limitations. You can even send a 2-hour video to your friends, if you so choose to! This is not your typical file sharing service. Nor is it a cloud storage service, really. The idea is simple. The application has two functions: you can send files or receive them. That’s it! If you choose to send a file, you get a navigator that allows you to select what you want to send. When you are done choosing, the app creates a QR code other Shoot users can use to download the selected file(s). If you press on the option for receiving a file, the camera will be activated and you can promptly scan the code. Whatever files were selected will be securely and privately transferred right away.
