A successful transfer should be findable

Where did the transferred file go?

Written by , the team that builds SEYFR.

Check the destination selected on the receiving device, sort recent files, and open the received copy before you change anything on the sender.

  • Destination matters
  • Platform behavior differs
  • Verify before deleting

Find the received copy

Return to the receiver

Confirm SEYFR reported completion on the device that received the files.

Open the selected destination

Desktop platforms may allow an explicit destination folder. Mobile operating systems can apply app and Files access rules.

Sort by date or search the filename

Use the platform file manager to find recently received content.

Open representative files

Check that photos render, videos play and documents or folder contents match the sender.

Why destinations differ

Windows, macOS and Linux

Desktop file pickers generally provide more direct folder selection, subject to app permissions.

iPhone and iPad

Apple platform sandboxing and Files access determine available destinations.

Android

Android storage permissions and the system file picker determine accessible locations.

Received-file questions

Does “completed” mean I should delete the source?

Not by itself. Find the destination and open representative received files first. Keep another independent copy for irreplaceable material.

Why can another app not see the file?

Mobile platform sandboxing, media indexing or file-provider permissions may affect visibility. Open the destination through the system Files interface and share or import from there if needed.
