Connect2 is a FREE app that enables your PC and your phone to work together as one. This is the other free app from Lenovo, the smartphone giant. All the Lenovo device users are forced to upgrade to Connect2 a few weeks back. Connect 2 is not the Latest version of Shareit. It is different software, built to work exactly like Shareit. With Connect2 you simply unite your phone and PC wirelessly by ‘pairing’ them once, and in the future, they will automatically connect when in range. It is faster, easier and more secure than using cloud storage and there are no data charges. You don’t need to worry about the data loss any more. The latest version of Connect2 can sync the data between your PC and your Smartphone automatically. It can also send and receive messages from the PC (Coming Soon).

Supported OS

  • Windows (x64 & X86, Windows 7 and above)
  • Android (Version 4.4 and above)
  • IOS (In future)
