Easily Share Files Between Linux, Windows And Mac Using NitroShare

If you have got yourself several computers running various operating systems, you might be wondering about how to share files between Linux and Windows and Mac? Using USB disks just to transfer files between computers that are connected to same local network is outright stupid (pardon me for being offensive). If the computers are on the same local network, why not share the files directly via network itself.

We have previously seen how to transfer files between Ubuntu and Windows on local network. Today we are going to see an even easier way to transfer files among Linux, Windows and Mac OS X on local network. For this purpose, we’ll be using an Open Source application NitroShare.

NitroShare features

• cross platform, available for Linux, Windows and OS X
• no configuration required, transfer is a matter of few clicks
• can transfer individual files as well as folders
• no limit on the file size (from version 0.3.0)
• desktop notifications when a device with NitroShare is discovered or leaves the local network and when transfer completes
• can view history of transfers
• easy to use interface
• Install NitroShare

As I mentioned earlier, NitroShare is available for multiple platforms. You can get the .deb installation file for Debian based distributions, Exe files for Windows and DMG file for Mac OS X. You’ll need Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, Ubuntu 14.04+ and OS X 10.7+. Get the appropriate installation file from the link below:
