In other words, copying files to a PC from a smartphone is a matter of scanning just one QR-code now.
ScanTransfer does not provide and does not require many settings. In the program, you just choose where to store the transferred files. You can also specify whether the files will be compressed or not immediately during the transfer. However, this is at the expense of image quality and is usually unnecessary, because the compression takes place only after the transfer. It will not be faster.
