Feature request: select transfer device and pair before loading files

[HNesher]

What would you like to see?

select which device to send the files to before, while, after loading the files.
i think that pairing the devices should be unrelated to loading them. pair devices before, after, while its loading the files.

Why would this be helpful?

Right now I need to wait for the files to load before I can pair the device to download from which is fine for small/medium file size but when I try to transfer 300GB I need to wait for 1.5 hours or so. I want to pair the devices, set the download path, upload the files and let it do its thing but now I need to wait quite some time for it to loading before I can actually pear the devices.
Also when I start large transfers I try to do it at night but I find myself need to wait 1.5 - 2 hours before I can go to sleep

Anything else you'd like to add?

1. thanks so much to the devs, dashbeam is awesome and i love this project!
2. Another thing that can be useful(don't know if I need to open a new request for it) will be to see ETA and elapsed time for loading a file
3. when transferring large files its very common to have problems mid transfer which is the most annoying thing to cancel transfer after 7 hours. so just giving a shout out to this feature request as well, i think its the most important feature that can be added in my opinion: Feature request: Seamlessly resume interrupted file transfers #254

Feel free to include screenshots, mockups, or links that might help illustrate your idea (optional).

You can pair with "pair device" option on the footer and then share files to existing paired devices. But yes we will refine work flow further.

@tonyantony300 what do you mean by footer? I have devices paired but I don't see an option to "share with existing paired device" anywhere

I see, now I get what you mean. Thanks for letting me know
