Best SHAREit Alternatives
Have a look at the list of best SHAREit alternatives. All these apps offer fast data transfer between two devices.

Final Words
Recently Mx Player also released an app MX Sharekaro but I didn’t include that app in this list because of a China link. Mx Player is now owned by an Indian company Times Internet that has investment from Chinese internet giant Tencent. While having investment from China doesn’t make an app risky but there are other similar and better apps. So I didn’t add the app to this list.
This was the list of best SHAREit alternative apps. The list also includes Indian SHAREit alternatives. Install any of these apps if you were looking to replace SHAREit on your phone.
