SHAREit Alternative/Xender: ShareAll(pure best indian app)

SHAREit is a file transfer application but is now slowly pivoting to a content providers platform. The app has also moved from its primary goal and is now catering to content creators. Over endured usage, we have found inappropriate content on the app and there are several concerns over the privacy in the SHAREit application. There are alternatives such as Xender but that too has been a lot of bloatware including Social Media downloader and the constant advertisements that make the user experience bad to worse. SHAREit has been in two security vulnerabilities in the last year that allowed attackers to download content from a user evading all the authentication mechanism.

If you are looking for a SHAREit alternative then ShareALL might be a good option, the app is developed by an India based developer and allows the transfer of all types of files without internet access or cables. The app is completely free and supports high-speed file sharing at ease, the app also doesn’t come with any inherent restrictions on the file size.

Zoom Alternative: Jio Meet, Say Namaste

While Zoom by itself is headquartered in California, the product development of Zoom mainly happens in China.

If you are looking for a local desi alternative to Zoom then we have Jio Meet from Reliance Jio and Say Namaste from a private firm. There are several other international options including Google Meet and Cisco Webex but Say Namaste is the closest Indian alternative to the Zoom video conferencing app.
