Copybin: A simple exchange of files between iOS and Mac
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
People using Apple products are divided into two categories: those who are after the release of a new device immediately run to the store, and those who continue to work quietly on their Mac five years ago. And if the first receive all the new "chips" operating system immediately after purchase, the second has to put up with their absence on older platforms. One of the most interesting features that will be available this Fall - AirDrop between a device on iOS, and your Mac. But whether it will work on older Mac, which soon "banging" 3-5 years?
A definite answer we get only after 3-4 months, when they officially presented the new operating system iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 Yosemite. However, if you are not going for one reason or another to part with your computer or laptop this year, and transfer files between iPhone and Mac for you one of the most important functions, I propose to begin to look closely to the third-party software that will help you in case AirDrop will not work on your device.
Copybin - a small utility for iOS and Mac, using which you can share virtually any type of files between the two devices. In contrast to the popular cloud storage like Dropbox, Yandex. Disk or future iCloud Drive, the application does not store the files somewhere on the Internet, access to which can be accessed through a web interface. Copybin designed specifically for exchange between devices and works slightly differently than utilities like Instashare.
Also Copybin - it is a tool to work with, so it does not interface the application of any special effects or additional animations - one unsightly window and all. But it is not beauty. The main thing - job application. Then Copybin have something to brag about.
The utility works in conjunction iOS + Mac, so first you need to install it on the devices between which you want to make file sharing. Further, in order to transfer a file from your Mac to your iPhone, it takes only a couple of mouse clicks: open a window with a menu bar at the top of the program, and then drag the desired file directly to him. On the device under control iOS must first start the application itself, in its upper part will be displays all currently connected clients (for this it is necessary that all of them were within one network).
In an open client on iOS, you'll see a list of recent actions that have hit the "Clipboard" Copybin: it can be a video, an image, or, for example, text. The free version of their number does not exceed 15 pieces. Any file can be transmitted or stored in the device memory, or to open directly into any application to view. Very convenient to carry out the transfer of text that can be understood automatically, and links to websites: you just copy selected text on a Mac, and it immediately appears in the iOS app, where you can send through WhatsApp or any other messenger.
Roughly the same work and the return shipment of files: in Copybin on iOS you select a file and press the submit button. After a few seconds you will be able to detect it in the Downloads folder on your Mac. All quickly and easily - that, in fact, required of Copybin.
To remove the restrictions on the last 15 actions, as well as the removal of advertisements, you can purchase the full version for just 33 rubles - which is also quite democratic. And if you are no longer satisfied with the exchange of files via Dropler or iCloud, I advise you to look at the Copybin, maybe that is the app you have been looking for.
