The advantages of this manager include the fact that we have the right to send a file through it from a cloud server, Dropbox, and so on. To do this, go into the program and click “Open file in” > “Instashare”.

Let us add that when the manager is minimized, the download is not interrupted. Moreover, it can be restarted, after which file transfer will continue. However, you should keep in mind that this feature of the application has not been officially announced by the developers, and therefore it does not work very stable.
