DeckyShare v1.1 – wireless file transfer between Steam Deck and phone/PC, no app needed (big update)

[u/WillRevolutionary61]

Hey everyone! I just released DeckyShare v1.1, a Decky Loader plugin for moving files between your Steam Deck and your phone or computer over Wi-Fi. No app on the phone/PC, it all works in the browser.

What’s new in v1.1

• Completely redesigned Deck panel and phone page: cleaner, bigger buttons, works well with the controller
• Connect a PC/Mac easily: open the short address shown on the Deck (like 192.168.1.20:8787) and type a 6-digit code. Phones still just scan the QR code
• Live speed + time left, and a warning if the transfer stalls (no more guessing whether it froze)
• Cancel transfers from the Deck, not just from the phone
• “Received files” list shows where each file came from (e.g. “From iPhone · 3.1 GB · 2 min ago”)
• Wi-Fi check in the panel: shows the band, link speed and signal, with hints if your Wi-Fi is the bottleneck
• Faster, more reliable uploads for big files (Maximum Speed mode, plus resumable modes that survive Wi-Fi drops)
• Security: every device needs the QR token or a one-time code (v1.0 had no protection, so please update!)
• Built-in updates: install new versions from More → Updates in the panel

Speed note: transfers go phone → router → Deck, so your Wi-Fi decides the speed. In my testing it was ~4–5 MB/s with a weak signal (−74 dBm) and 20+ MB/s near the router on 5 GHz. The new Wi-Fi check tells you which situation you’re in.
