Share files between your devices over the local network.
Before you download
Install LocalSend on the receiving device too and check that both can communicate locally. You do not upload files or give account access to GOAPK to use this guide.
Get started
Open the app on both devices, confirm the receiver name and start with a small file. Confirm receipt before sending a large folder or private material.
Keep your data when updating
Keep the original until the received copy opens correctly. Check the destination folder before deleting documents on the sending device.
Use the original distribution channel where possible. Compare the package and edition before replacing an installation. A different signature or an older version can prevent an update; do not uninstall or clear data as the first troubleshooting step.
If installation or playback does not work
Guest Wi-Fi and client isolation may prevent discovery. Check local-network permissions and connectivity rather than assuming a missing device means installation failed.
Check the Android requirements and architecture shown above. Open the downloaded APK on your own Android device, read its notices and keep system protections enabled. Review any temporary browser installation permission afterward.
LocalSend FAQs
Why is my other device not detected?
Check that the devices can communicate on the local network and that the relevant permissions are enabled. Guest-network isolation can prevent discovery.
Should I delete the original after sending?
First confirm that the received file opens correctly and is stored where you expect. A completed send is not a substitute for checking an important backup.
How do I choose the correct APK?
Check the minimum Android version and the architecture supported by the installed operating system. ARM64 means arm64-v8a; ARM32 means armeabi-v7a. A 64-bit chip does not prove that the installed system supports ARM64. Use the file picker, or the publisher’s store if available.
Can I update an installation from another source?
Check its package, edition and source first. A different signing key can prevent an update. Back up important data and consult the publisher before switching channels; do not uninstall or erase data as the first troubleshooting step.
