Linkme: EasyJoin "Essential", EasyJoin "Go"

I've instead been using EasyJoin for over a year, The Essential version (isn't on the Play Store) with the Pro app on Windows.

It's free with paid premium features, but none of the things you listed are paid.

The "Essential" version is essentially^^hehe the previous free version before it became a paid app but isn't receiving any new features; only stability and security updates. And the currently developed free app is called "Go", but it's a quite different app altogether and very lacking in features.

Works great in my case.

Can you install a beta version and check if the issue persist?

You can get the beta1 version of the exe file from here: https://easyjoin.net/beta/EasyJoin.exe-3.13.1-beta1.zip

Unzip the file and copy the exe file in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyJoin.

Hi, dev here.

​

>It requires you to port forward for it to work.

This is correct. The only requirement is to enable UPnP on the modem/router - is usually the default setting.

​

>Not exactly the easiest way for people that don't understand this stuff .

You can do it by enabling a switch ("Direct connection via Internet") in the app. When you enable the second switch ("Share with trusted devices") you share your IP like a DDNS service. So basically all you have to do is to enable two switches in the app. I'm writing this not to contradict what you've written but to see if the documentation could be clearer on this point. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

Hi.

My intention is to offer applications that do not depend on advertising so that users are not tracked. This is a conscious choice, knowing that it will bring me less income.

Play store gives buyers the possibility to ask for a refund so one could buy the app, try it and if they don't like to ask for a refund. For the "Pro" version I extend the default refund period offered by Play store to 5 days, as the app offers much more features and people should have time to try it extensively before deciding to keep it.

Natively files aren't encrypted you could make a feature request here.

https://joaoapps.helprace.com/.

Unofficially u technically could find a way to upload an encrypted version of the file to Google drive or write a task to upload to a self host next cloud server and have join simply push the link.

Also regarding easy join their are three versions go (just file transfer very basic), essential (file transfer and notification, bit more), and pro

By the way what operating systems are u using join with (aside from android)

Hi.

Thanks for reporting it.

Even if the error is related to something else, the real problem is that the application cannot listen on the default port. For Windows Enterprise users the most plausible reason is because they have enabled Hyper-V , which blocks applications from listening on many socket ports. You can read how to configure Hyper-V in the FAQ: https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?2

Hi. There is a free, ads free and tracking free version for those who can't afford the paid version. Has less functionalities from the paid version but still does a lot. More here: easyjoin.net/android.html.

All versions share the same privacy policy.

EasyJoin has a private clipboard that works on Android 10 and can be used as a universal clipboard between devices using Android, Windows, Linux and macOS.

Sorry, but I can't help you any further because I don't know how your system is configured and I'd have no way to replicate it anyway.

If you haven't done it yet, read the FAQ in case it helps. https://easyjoin.net/faq.html

EasyJoin - A decentralized and secure communication system

Send the clipboard text from one device to another. Auto-sync the clipboards between your devices. Auto-sync works on the Q version of Android using a private clipboard.

Yes, it works without internet. All functionalities could be used in a local network without using Internet and via Internet using a direct connection.

Hi, EasyJoin dev here. Thank you for recommending my app.

Regarding the price, it should be considered that the app is purchased once for all the devices of all family members and desktop applications are free of charge. More here.

Dev here.

For those who have tried EasyJoin in the past here are some things that have been added from the previous major version:

• Now you can connect your devices via Internet without using external servers.
• Added new section "Connection" in the settings.
• Added new settings on the settings page of each "Trusted" device used in "Direct Internet Connection".
• Added new dark theme "Black Deep Purple".
• Some color themes have been revised to improve the visibility of text and icons.
• You can now connect your devices via Internet even when one of them cannot configure its modem/router ("Everywhere To Home" connection).
• You can renew the encryption keys. Go to a "Trusted" device settings, scroll down and click the "Renew encryption keys" button (when available).
• You can now add a remote device, which is not on the local network, via the Internet.
• You can send an alarm to a "Trusted" device. The alarm will ring even if the remote device has activated "Don't disturb". Using the corresponding widget you can send the alarm to all "Trusted" devices that are online. Designed especially for those who take care of elderly persons and want to have a quick and easy to use alerting system.
• Various bug fixes and minor improvements.

Get EasyJoin "Essential" at easyjoin.net

Connection is via WiFi but you have to ask to your IT to disable "isolation mode" (they know). Or create an ad-hoc access point / hotspot just for this job.

It's for Android phones and there are desktop apps for Windows, linux and mac.

Can you download the Linux version, install it and run it, following the instructions that you can find in the download page, and see if it works? It's not important to copy the EasyJoin.exe file on ~/EasyJoin/ if you already using this folder, any other folder in ~ could do the job.

Hi.

If you haven't already done so, please email me the order number to get a refund.

Unfortunately I can't help you solve the problem, if you have already read the FAQ and couldn't find a solution, since I can't replicate the conditions of use of every single PC.

Hi.

Could be a problem with the encryption keys. Currently, it is necessary to reinstall apps to all devices and not use a backup file. You can find more information here on how to delete configuration files from Windows version: https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?12

Make sure that you have the latest version of the app on all devices.

From the next version it will be possible to synchronize the keys without uninstalling the apps.

Get EasyJoin at easyjoin.net

If you you only want to share files and not other things, like clipboard sharing, texting from PC etc the Go version is what you need.

Get EasyJoin at easyjoin.net.

There is a portable version of the Windows application if you do not want to install the application.

From a security point of view, it makes no difference whether you install an app or use a portable version or use a browser plugin, because since it runs it can do whatever it wants.

The only difference could be the use of an app that doesn't use external servers because you could block it at firewall level to stay only in the local network and be sure that your data doesn't end up in external servers.

From https://easyjoin.net/faq.html:

What are the differences between the Android versions "Go", "Essential" and "Pro"?

The "Essential" and "Go" versions are free. The "Pro" version is not free.

The "Pro" version has all the features of the "Essential" version and some exclusive premium features. Learn more.

Differences between "Go" and "Essential"/"Pro":

• Less permissions. You can do less so you give less permissions.
• When you close the app any background activity is also closed.
• Has been removed broadcast listeners that could bring the app alive.
• Auto accepting files is the default behavior.
• Files are automatically saved in the corresponding system media folder based on their type.

The main difference, from my point of view, between the versions is that by purchasing the "Pro" version you support the development and I can continue to evolve the app, keeping all versions ads and tracking free.

Note: the various versions cannot coexist on the same device but you can use different versions on different devices, i.e. "Essential" on phone, "Go" on tablet and "Pro" on PC.

Hi, dev here. Yes you can. On all versions of the application, in the settings of each connected device, there is a switch that allows you to activate/deactivate the reception/sending of notifications without changing any other notification settings.

ps: about the price ... https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?51

Hi.

The second problem is about your device and/or the apps that are you using. Maybe this could be helpful: https://easyjoin.net/faq.html?15

The transfer speed could depend from various things. In order to get some useful information you have to run a benchmark indicating: the sender device type, the receiving device type, the access point, WiFi strength signal, the file size, the time need to complete a transfer.

Yes of course, btw it's covered in the FAQ.

The signaling is about the fact that the application scan the network to find other devices with EasyJoin.

Since some virus could scan the network in order to find other devices and try to infect them, the least sophisticated antivirus could mark an app/exe file as infected just for it. The more sophisticated antivirus try also to understand why the app scan the network, try to find a malicious behavior etc etc and only if an app has a malicious intend mark it as infected and block it otherwise consider the action for what it is i.e. not harmful and permissible.

Should work on every WiFi network except if the administrator of the WiFi router has modified the default settings and don't permit the connected devices to interact with each other. In that case you have to to use the hotspot solution.
