Connect2 (by Lenovo) Description
Thanks to the plethora of social media services, messenger apps and even cloud-based storage services with instant sharing capabilities, let us just say that transferring data from our computers to our mobile devices and vice-versa is easier now that it ever was.
Be that as it may, there are still faster and more efficient ways of transferring content between mobile devices and computers with the help of specialized apps that rely on wireless technology, for example, Connect2.
Designed from the ground up to be a valid alternative for the company's popular, slightly older SHAREit app, Connect2 is a new piece of software developed by Lenovo that provides you with a quick and hassle-free way to transfer files between your Android devices and your computers.
Brings your Android phone and your PC a bit closer, making data transfer feel like a walk in the park
As expected, in order to make use of its provided technology, Connect2 must be present on both your computer and your Android device. The pairing process is as simple as they get, with you only having to scan the QR code with your Android phone.
Evidently and quite conveniently, in the future, both devices will be automatically connected when they are in close proximity.
Modern-looking, clutter-free and novice-accessible user interface
Those of you familiar with Lenovo's previously mentioned app, SHAREit, will quickly discover that Connect2 aims to provide you with a more streamlined and more user-friendly application, even though it comes at the price of flexibility.
Once you get passed the pairing process, you are greeted by the app's main window. You can choose between two, self-explanatory data transfer modes, namely Shift to phone and Get from Phone.
The former mode allows you swiftly copy any file from your computer to your phone, while the latter offers you a more freedom of choice by enabling you to transfer pictures, music, videos, and files from your phone to your computer.
And now, the not-so-good parts…
However, all is not fine and dandy. This is probably the perfect time to point out that, unfortunately, Connect2 does not make it possible for you to transfer apps, contacts, messages, emails or other less familiar content besides documents and the ones mentioned above.
Even so, by far the biggest issue here is OS support. At the time this review was written, the app only featured support for Windows and Android devices. This said, Mac and iOS users should stick to SHAREit, at least for the time being.
Transfer data between your Android devices and Windows-based gadgets by relying on this convenient and streamlined app
To conclude, Connect2 is a convenient and interesting piece of software that makes content shifting from your computer to Android devices and vice versa feel as smooth as possible and clearly a lot faster when compared to other more traditional methods.
Thanks to its overall simplicity and user-friendliness, the application might be enough for ordinary users, although, transitioning from SHAREit to Connect2 might leave others feeling a bit constrained.
