Mobilink simplifies file sharing between devices by using a peer-to-peer connection, eliminating the need for account registration or pre-uploading files to a server. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using the invitation code mode for file transfers.
Step 1: Generate an Invitation Code
You can generate an invitation code on either a mobile device or a computer. This code is used to establish a direct connection between the sender and the recipient.
On a Mobile Device:
- Launch the Mobilink application on your mobile device.
- Navigate to the "Devices" page.
- In the top toolbar, click the button inside the red circle.
- A dialog box will pop up, displaying a 6-digit invitation code.
On a Computer:
- Open the Mobilink application on your Windows, Linux, or macOS computer.
- Go to the "Devices" page.
- In the bottom toolbar, click the button inside the red circle.
- A dialog box will appear with a 6-digit invitation code.
Step 2: Share the Invitation Code
Share the generated invitation code with the person who needs to receive the files. You can send this code via email, text message, instant messaging, or any other communication method.
Step 3: Enter the Invitation Code
The recipient needs to enter the invitation code to establish a connection.
If the Recipient is Using a Mobile Device:
- Launch the Mobilink application.
- Click the button inside the red circle on the top toolbar.
- Enter the invitation code in the dialog box that appears.
- In the device list, wait for the color of the other party's icon to change from gray to blue, indicating a successful connection.
If the Recipient is Using a Computer:
- Open the Mobilink application.
- Click the button inside the red circle in the bottom toolbar.
- Enter the invitation code when prompted.
- Observe the device list; once the other party's icon turns from gray to blue, the connection is successfully established.
Step 4: Transfer Files
Once the connection is established, both parties can proceed to transfer files to each other instantly and securely.
