Plover makes it easy to share a document with a colleague or a song with a friend.
Services like Google Drive or Dropbox have long since solved the problem of storing and sharing data. However, they are not always convenient to use. For example, when you urgently need to transfer documents to a colleague at work.
For fast file sharing, there is a simple and elegant solution in the form of the Plover service. All you need to do is go to the site and drag the file onto the picture of the desired user. Your colleague or friend will only have to click the "Download" button.
For the service to work, there is one condition: all devices must be connected to one Wi-Fi point or local network. However, the developers state that Plover tracks the geolocation of IP addresses, so you can see users from a different network. We were unable to verify this. If you succeed - write in the comments.
Plover was created with one goal in mind: to quickly transfer files between any devices. That is why the developers did not overload the interface with unnecessary buttons and icons. Lovers of minimalism will be delighted, especially when they see cute animal avatars.
According to the creators, the service does not store your data. If the file is not downloaded within five minutes, it will be automatically deleted.
The service also has disadvantages. For example, you cannot transfer the entire folder to the user: either download all files individually, or as an archive. Sending heavy files is also inconvenient. If you want to share a Rolling Stones movie or discography, you have to do it the old fashioned way.
Otherwise, it is an excellent service: fast, convenient and not overloaded with unnecessary functions.
