    Not as easy to use as I would have liked. Stupid pictures that do not match up with FTP, so difficult to know whether files were transferred correctly and guess what They weren't had to go back multiple times to try to get all files from one machine to the other. Still not sure all is done, just a hassle to use.

    Very unhappy and will be returning this item. I got it installed on both computers and transferred a couple of files, then it 'hung up' and kept saying a file transfer was in progress. Would not complete the (relatively small) file transfer, no way to cancel, removing device and rebooting both systems did not escape this message. No useful documentation and no online support.

    Software to run a data cable?

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is nonsense. A cable is simply supposed to connect two devices. Since all I needed was a usb-to-usbc cable, and the picture confirmed, I did not read the fine print. Now I have to waste time and gasoline to go back to the store and return it.

    I tried to transfer data from my Windows 10 machine to the new Windows 11 machine, but it would only transfer 2 MB at a time. It correctly allowed the cursor to move from one screen to the other. Then it assumed incorrectly that the receiving computer was write protected (it was not). I had to return the cable.

    Returned it, Didn't charge the product that needed charging. Normally they charge, but don't do file transfer if they're a cheaper cable, neither was true in that case. Not sure if it transfers files, I didn't try that part. But the cable was rather overpriced. Insignia = cheap products that have to make up for recuperating some of the overhead costs for the brick and mortar stores.
