And on your phone? Scan this code, it opens the right store.
And on your computer?
The right tool for your devices.
An iPhone and a Windows PC, that’s all
Phone Link already does the job: since iOS 16, the Link to Windows app sends your files from the Share menu, and the PC sends its own back with a right-click, Share. Keep it.
A Mac, an Android, or everyone
Phone Link connects a phone to a Windows PC. A Mac, a swap between an iPhone and an Android, a colleague next to you: GreySpace sends between all of them, on the same Wi-Fi.
Sending big batches? GreySpace retries on its own if the Wi-Fi drops, without resending what already arrived, and checks every file on arrival.
What Phone Link doesn’t cover
-
No Mac
Phone Link is a Windows app: a Mac is left out.
GreySpace has a Mac app, notarized by Apple, and the same one on Windows.
-
One phone, one PC
It connects a phone to a PC: it isn’t built for a swap between two phones.
GreySpace sends between iPhone, Android, Mac and PC, every which way.
-
An app and a pairing
You need iOS 16 or later, the Link to Windows app on the iPhone, and to pair both.
An iPhone without GreySpace still receives: it scans the QR code and gets the files in Safari.
An iPhone without the app? It scans.
On the PC or the Mac, GreySpace shows a QR code. The iPhone scans it with the camera and gets your files in Safari, or sends you its own. Nothing to install.
GreySpace Connected to MacBook
Wi-Fi drops? It picks up.
GreySpace retries on its own when the Wi-Fi drops for a few seconds, without resending what already arrived. Every file is checked on arrival.
A whole folder, in one send.
From a Mac or a PC, every file in the folder goes in one pass, no zip. No limit with Pro, up to 10 GB a month on Free.

Can Phone Link send files from an iPhone?
Yes, since iOS 16, with the Link to Windows app on the iPhone. On the iPhone: Share, Link to Windows, then your PC. On the PC: right-click a file, Share, then your phone, for files saved on the PC.

Is there Phone Link for Mac?
No: Phone Link only exists on Windows. With an Android phone and a Mac, GreySpace sends your files both ways over your Wi-Fi. Between an iPhone and a Mac, AirDrop does the job for a few files; GreySpace is for when a PC or an Android joins in, or for big batches that must pick up if they drop.
Do I need to keep the iPhone unlocked while sending?
Yes, for now. iOS pauses an app that goes to the background: if you lock the iPhone during a send, the transfer stops. GreySpace blocks auto-lock while a transfer is running, so leave the app open until it’s done.
If it did stop, send again. Nothing arrives half-done: every file is checked before it is put away.
Is it really free?
Yes. The Free plan is free forever: unlimited receiving, 10 GB of sending per month, full speed, no account. The day you hit 10 GB, the app even gives you 7 unlimited days, no card (except on iPhone and iPad).
If you send heavy files every day, Pro removes the sending limit: €5.99 per month, or €39.99 per year.
