Feem is a file-sharing app from an African startup. We all know that file-sharing apps are not devoid of problems and shortcomings most of them rarely work and those that work are not hassle-free to set up. Yes, we have seen our fair share of offline file-sharing tools but Feem has been garnering rave reviews and this further encouraged me to test it out. Simplifying the affair of file sharing seems to be the basic premise of the Feem and let’s see how it pans out in our test.
Feem File Transfer app
Since it’s a file transfer tool, I have placed special emphasis on ease of use. The best part of all is that Feem is available for Windows, iPhone, iOS, MacOS, Linux, and Android. This is awesome considering that we can share files across different platforms.
Feem is 50 times faster than Bluetooth, and it supports the transfer of large files without actually eating up your bandwidth or your wallet as a matter of fact. All of my file transfers averaged above 4Mbps and were extremely stable.
The installation is pretty straightforward: select your operating system and download the executable file. Once installed, Feem throws up a neat window with minimal options. Again for a guy coming from ShareIT, Feem seems too easy to be true. The user interface is divided into two panes, the left side shows the Wi-Fi network you are connected to and the left pane will show up the progress bar.
Despite being a file-sharing software, Feem has an interface similar to WhatsApp or any other Instant messaging platform. Once you pair it with the other device, you can hit off a chat message and then select the attachment option to upload your files. Just to ensure that it works as advertised, I used it to move files between my Windows laptop to my MacBook and also from my Android phone to the Windows laptop and each time, it worked flawlessly well.

Is Feem free?
Feem is offered in two variants, and the free version comes with certain restrictions; for instance, you can’t change the path of the downloaded file and don’t get high-priority email support. For usual home use, the free edition is more than enough. Furthermore, the makers of Feem assure that the connection is device to device and there are no chances of interception.
Is Feem secure?
When it comes to the security of Feem, you do not need to worry about anything. Feem is secure and easy to use so you can share any file without any problem with your friends and family. Whether you want to use it on Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS, or anything else, you can use the app without any compatibility issues.
How do you use Feem?
You need to install Feem on sending and receiving devices at once. Following that, you need to connect both devices to the same WiFi network. Then, you can choose the file you want to send to another device and select the desired contact from the list.
The Verdict
I have been trying out several file transfer services for ages and none of them offered such a simplistic yet functional approach. The cross-compatibility of the software is yet another talking point and not to mention the seamless connectivity. Check it out at www.feem.io and let us know in the comments section below.

Feem is nowhere near as good and smooth as Xender. Xender doesn’t require internet connection too, BUT – it doesn’t require to be installed on Windows, only the Android/OS app is needed. Feem has a lot of bugs too – installer doesn’t work on many systems according to user reviews. Please, review Xender.
