Talk:SHAREit

Semi-protected edit request on 11 May 2016
This is my first experience with Wikipedia "editing". In deciding whether or not to download ShareIt I've noticed in 1 (droid) user comment a remark seeming to indicate that ShareIt was 16Gb large (hard to believe). Considering that you have already (correctly) commented that this Wiki entry reads like an ad, and considering that I find nowhere on the web where the file's size (on separate platforms) is mentioned, is this an appropriate comment to send in a Wiki talk page?

"Please consider listing what the downloaded file size will be for each of the platforms it can be installed on."

 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. I also think the article has larger problems than to address than file size. (I wasn't able to find any mention of something being 16GB) — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 07:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The app has a small filesize - not 16GB. However one may share more than 16GB (afaik there's no limit) of files with the app which may cause the apps folder to grow that large if one doesn't move the files to another folder or computer. For listing the file-size of software there's the  parameter of the Template:Infobox software so one could add it if it's considered useful. I don't think that it would be useful here though. Also the file size changes constantly with every update and varies depending on the platform so it would be really hard to keep it up to date etc. --Fixuture (talk) 23:40, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Which powerful source can be used to hack a computer? Seancarter507 ( talk) 19:06, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

ad-hoc and Android
From the article:
 * ...allows Windows, Windows Phone, Android, and iOS devices to transfer files directly by ad-hoc Wi-Fi connections.[1]

Android does not support ad-hoc (unless rooter or otherwise hacked/manipulated). So this sentence it probably incorrect. --Xerces8 (talk) 19:33, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

How can I prevent the hacking??? Seancarter507 (talk) 19:08, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Contradictory Information
This article describes SHAREit as "totally secure" in one place and vulnerable to malware in another. These are contradictory statements and neither are supported. Parts of the article sound like an ad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19A:C100:6EE5:A925:C29B:70C7:26AE (talk) 20:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Written like an advertisment.
Upon reading the article, there seems to be information without citations that are written in a way to shed a good light about the company, especially on the fact that it added entertainment thingamajigs alongside with their WiFi Direct sharing utility, as demonstrated by this article here. https://techwiser.com/best-shareit-alternatives/ EdgeOfSzon (talk) 14:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
