Most instant messengers do not offer much in terms of file sharing. Transfers are usually slow and both users must stay in front of their computers, in case the transfer is interrupted. You can address this issue and many others, with Qnext. It allows you to chat with all your contacts, regardless of their preferred social medias or instant messengers. Additionally, the application makes it easier to share your pictures, music, videos, documents and any other type of file.

Qnext is distributed as a freeware application for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Although it may take some time to download the setup file, with a slower Internet connection, installing the application should not take more than a minute.

When you launch Qnext for the first time, you must create an online account and import one or more email, IM or social media accounts. You can also import other accounts at a later date, on the main user interface. Qnext looks and feels like other instant messengers. Contacts are listed directly on the main interface and you can group them in separate folders. A series of options can be found above the contacts list. You can change your status message, search for contacts, add new ones and more.

Contacts can be imported from various instant messaging services, including Yahoo, Google Talk, Facebook or MySpace and you can also import email accounts, like Yahoo, Gmail and others. Once you import an account, you can add one or more contacts from its corresponding service. For example, if you import a Yahoo account, you will be able to add Yahoo contacts. Contacts can be grouped in separate folders, which, in turn, are grouped by imported accounts.

Communicating with contacts can be done on the same type of chat window, on which you can make voice and video calls as well. The smart file sharing feature gives Qnext a clear advantage over other similar applications. Rather than waiting for lengthy transfers, you can share your contents with one or more users and let them explore and copy your files whenever they want. The software allows you to create shared file pools, known as zones, on a separate window. All you have to do is add your files to a list. To share the files with specific people, you must click and drag their contact entries from one list to another. The best part is that Qnext can automatically accept incoming files. You can set it to store the files in a folder of your choice and skip or overwrite files if they already exist.

Pros

The software allows you to import several mail, instant messenger and social media accounts. You can chat with other people, regardless of their preferred means of communication. Qnext allows you to share files for individual contacts, which can explore your files at any time.

Cons

You can't import Skype accounts and contacts. Qnext is an excellent alternative to various instant messengers, due to its smart and flexible functionality.
