- Worth noticing
- Phone uploads are marked saved only after chunked and whole-file SHA-256 checks; Windows is listed as pending.
Field notes
The page distinguishes one-time phone uploads from ongoing two-way connections: the former use a single-use receiving code, while continued exchange requires approval on the computer. It also documents what happens after transfer: phone uploads are checked with chunked and whole-file SHA-256 validation before being marked saved, and same-named files are retained separately. The interactive transfer examples are explicitly simulations, not live transfers; the Windows edition is marked as not yet released.
