You can send a file or a folder to another computer straight from File Explorer, without moving the pointer.

Steps

  1. In File Explorer, right-click a file or a folder.
  2. On Windows 11, choose "Show more options" first.
  3. Choose "Send to", then "BukDesk".
  4. If you have more than one computer, BukDesk asks "Which computer gets it?" Choose one.

BukDesk shows "Sending to" with the computer's name, and how much has gone.

On the other computer the files land under Downloads, in BukDesk. See Files and folders.

If nothing was sent

BukDesk says why:

  • "Nothing was sent: the free trial has ended on this computer". Sending takes a license. Files can still come to this computer from one that has a license.
  • The other computer is connected over the internet. Files only go over the local network.
  • No computer is connected right now.

If BukDesk is not in the menu

The entry is added for each person the first time BukDesk runs for them. Open BukDesk once, then look again. An organization can turn files off, and then the entry is not there.
