How to send files, photos, videos, contacts, links or text from iOS to Linux.

You can use Quickit to quickly share files between iOS and Linux devices. All the devices need to be on the same WiFi network. If you don’t have a network, you can also create hotspot on any one device (iOS, Linux) and connect to that hotspot from the others.

Once the devices are on the same network. Select any files, phones, videos, contacts, links or text and open the share menu of the platform. In the share menu select Quickit. Scan the QR code of any of the devices from any of the other devices.

If you can’t scan the code, open the menu at the right top corner of the app to manually enter the code. If adding on Linux, enter the code by clicking on the “Enter Code” button. If no code is appearing on one device, you can still connect by entering the other device’s code. We only need one device to be able to connect to the other.

You should now see the added devices.
