Download NitroShare App – Transfer Files To Other Machines On Your Local Network

Transferring files from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu 14.04

Hello everyone, how are you all doing today? I hope you are all having a good today! My Tuesday is going great so far, I didn’t get a lot of sleep, in fact I barely slept and I still have plenty of energy, weird huh? Anyway today we showcase a pretty cool software for your Ubuntu/Linux OS, read on…

Can I send files between Ubuntu 14.04 & Windows 8.1?

The answer is, drum-roll please…YES! Yes you can easily send files between Ubuntu and Windows, after all, what’s the point of setting up a local network if you can’t send files between two different operating systems? How do you send files between the two? Just use an app called NitroShare and you can even send files between Ubuntu and Mac OS X without any setup or configuration issues at all. Sweet huh?
