Simple URLs from Safari or Chrome show up as tappable links, but sending from an app like Apple Music or News will add a second time-stamped text file with a brief description. Any link you come across can be instantly delivered to any of your other devices by tapping the DeskConnect icon in the share menu. Instead it provides a quick tutorial on the best new feature of DeskConnect: using the sharing extension inside other apps and browsers. Tapping the fourth button, Send Websites, doesn’t actually send a URL. But either method delivers your document nearly instantly, whether you’re inches or miles away from the recipient. For example, tap Send Document and DeskConnect will bring up your favorite cloud storage location (iCloud, Dropbox, Google, etc.), letting you select which file to send and where to send it.ĭeskConnect installs as a menu bar item on a Mac.Īccomplishing the same task on a Mac, where DeskConnect only exists as a menu bar app, is a little trickier files need to be dragged up to the icon to be sent, making it more of a receiver than a sender. Inside the app there are four send buttons, three of which will deliver the appropriate item (photo, clipboard contents, or document) to one or all of your other devices.
