About SHAREit

SHAREit started as an app for sending files directly between nearby devices without a mobile data connection, and grew to over a billion users, ranking highly among Google Play tools in emerging markets. The developer also offers a smaller SHAREit Lite version.

Since 2017 the company has turned SHAREit into a broader digital entertainment platform, and its business runs on mobile advertising. It suits people who need quick device-to-device transfers and accept an ad-supported app with extra content.

  • Very large user base
  • Lite version available for low-end phones

Limitations

  • Ad-supported, with the company focused on advertising
  • Bundles entertainment content beyond file transfer
