Hi just tried out file sharing with someone very remote having bad internet connection. Speeds were an epic sub 1kb/sec ! Anyways :

i don't see the progress bar with speeds while sharing the file, just the hourglass. The recipient did say he received some files.
when i share multiple files at once, are they all uploaded simultaneously or are they queued ? It would actually be handy to be able to queue files when the recipient is online of course, especially for those cases when one doesn't have a broadband, and also to be able to decide on how many simultaneous uploads are allowed...
Ps I'm on MacOS and the recipient on Windows10.

Update: tried to share a simple small jpg. It arrived, the size is identical, but impossible to open or even to D&D it in a checksum verifying app...

we only show progress bar client side, as we built it with the consideration of it being used in a group setting so a single sender side progress bar didn't quite make sense. we may revist this UI in later releases

well it does frankly... (why wouldn't the sender wish to see the progress and speed of his transfers ?).Also how about the other points i raised : are transfers queued or simultaneous (important when other side doesn't have broadband) or could the user chose ?
Is there any notification on successful transfer ?

transfers are simultaneous

Filesharing is still an experiment we are improving :)
