A tool that really saves me from using USB drives and QQ File Assistant

Last time I helped a colleague transfer 50MB of design materials, I was looking for a USB drive around the office when I suddenly remembered the network clipboard a friend had mentioned. I searched for its website and started using it. Since then, whether it’s cross-device text or small daily files, I use it directly, and I don’t even need to be on the same Wi-Fi to transfer between my phone and computer.

Official website: https://netcut.cn/

Practical details I’ve learned after three months of use

When I first started using it, I just thought it was a web page that could transfer things, but later I found many practical features. For example, you can name your own clipboard, set a password, and the validity period can be up to three years. You can store commonly used reference materials here, and you can access them by opening the web page on any device, so you don’t have to worry about losing files on your old computer.

However, there are also small limitations: each single file is up to 50MB, and the total size of all files cannot exceed 500MB. If you need to transfer larger files, you may still need other tools, but it’s more than enough for daily use. Another convenient point is that you don’t need to install any software. Whether on a computer or a mobile phone, you can operate it by opening a browser. No need to wait for download and installation—just enter the official website and fill in a name to create your own clipboard.

These scenarios I’ve tested, it’s really reliable

I use it most when writing proposals: I organize long texts on my computer, then continue editing on my phone. Instead of sending messages back and forth to transfer content, I just save it to the clipboard, and both devices can sync it. Another time I helped a friend transfer travel photos—he was out of town. I uploaded the photos to my clipboard, and he could open and get them by entering the name, no need to wait for the progress bar of the File Assistant to spin.

Another small detail: I used to worry that the things I transferred would be lost, but later I found that as long as you don’t delete them yourself, if you set a validity period, they can be stored for three years. You don’t have to remember to delete them specially, which saves a lot of organizing work. Also, it doesn’t rely on QQ or WeChat’s file channels, avoiding the trouble of large files being compressed or getting lost after sending. For someone like me who often transfers things between devices, it really saves a lot of time.

Small pitfalls and tips I’ve encountered while using it

When I first started using it, I didn’t set a password. Later, I was worried that my private data would be seen by others, so I added a password. Actually, the operation is simple—you can set it conveniently when creating the clipboard, no need to click extra buttons. Another time when transferring files, I forgot the total size limit, uploaded three 200MB files, and got a prompt that it exceeded the limit. I deleted one and successfully uploaded the rest. Just pay attention to this in advance.

In addition, if you need to use it temporarily, you don’t have to remember the clipboard name specially. After saving, copy the link and send it directly. The other party can open it and get the files, no need to tell them “I’ll send you a clipboard name to search”. This saves a lot of communication. Now when I go out with my computer, I rarely carry a USB drive. This tool is enough to handle daily small files and text transfers, no need to worry about finding storage devices.
