SuperBeam review
A focused local-transfer tool with free Android sharing and paid desktop features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SuperBeam is a file-transfer application for sharing files and folders between Android devices and computers. It is aimed at people who want to move files over Wi-Fi Direct or an available Wi-Fi connection rather than use a broader file-management or collaboration service. Pairing can be handled through QR codes, NFC, or manual sharing keys. The free plan focuses on Android-to-Android transfers and includes unlimited files, ad-free use, and light and dark themes.
The paid PRO Version expands SuperBeam toward computer-based workflows. It adds transfers through SuperBeam for PC, folder transfers with hierarchy preserved, sharing with multiple devices, and manual sharing-key pairing. Desktop sending and receiving are supported across Windows, macOS, and Linux, while the web interface enables sharing with devices that do not have SuperBeam installed. This makes the product more practical when a transfer involves several devices or whole folders rather than individual files. The published plans show a freemium structure, with computer and expanded sharing capabilities reserved for PRO.
SuperBeam’s strongest fit is local, direct transfer across Android devices, with several pairing methods and support for files of any type and size. It also preserves folder structure, which can reduce reorganization after a folder transfer. The trade-off is a narrow ecosystem: the product does not provide tracking, API access, or integrations. Choose SuperBeam for straightforward Wi-Fi sharing across Android, desktop, and web-connected devices. Consider an alternative if your workflow depends on transfer tracking, connected business tools, or programmatic file exchange.
