Used this the other day b/c I was too afraid to tether for fear of AT&T pwning me.
I used to use Astro for this also, but now prefer linda file manager. Only because a lot of times the downloads would default as an astro file and force me into astro. Linda doesn't do that.
Bumpin this topic for everyone who doesent know they can do that
Before I discovered that trick I was using Opera Mobile 10 browser (freeware). It was especially useful for some sites like filesonic, fileserve etc. that other browsers have trouble with. Ok, it has trouble displaying a few websites and sometimes when I disable mobile view I still get re-directed to mobile websites.
But dammit it sure can download!
I asked this question in the 7" tab forums, didn't release there was a 10.1
Has anyone had any luck with automatic syncing of folders from their PC to their tab over their home wifi connection?
We don't have unlimited data here, so can't use a service such as Dropbox.
I basically want to setup a folder on my PC which holds recorded TV, digital books, etc... and when I get home and my tablet picks up the wifi network - it sync the content in that folder.
Running Windows 7... all the applications I've tried either time out, or corrupt the data on the tab... I've also been unable to get the FTP versions working stable.
Try SugarSync. You'll be amazed
SugarSync in great but it is cloud based app.
If you need "pure" wi-fi sync try SimpleSync.

Doesnt seem to be compatible with the 10.1?
I can't tell you for sure. Sorry. I don't have 10.1. What is exactly the problem?

Market wont allow me to download, says its incompatible.
Synx might fit the bill?

Thanks - ended up returning my tablet because of the display issues, 2 with dead pixels, 1 with newton rings...
Might go for the Asus Transformer...or wait for something else, will try them.
Sorry to hear that, I returned 2 Asus Transformers with similar issues. I hope you get a good Tablet whatever the manufacturer.
What would be the difference in using a sync program to download music/videos versus just copying it to the tab?
Because copying it to the tab would requre the USB connection.
Instead of a wifi sync, why not just mount a windows/cifs network folder onto your tab. This is what I do.
Of course this requires a custom kernel that has cifs module.. but totally worth it.
Gotcha. So its just easier to copy through wifi, so you can freely add and move songs and have it update w/o having to connect. Which SYNC program do you use? I would use dropbox, but I dont want it to sync all my other drop box stuff.

I'm not sure you get wheat I am saying. I don't use a sync program but simply share via my network drive that is mounted on my tab. When I want to copy to local storage, I just use any file manager app.

Could you explain how to mount a windows/cifs network folder onto your tab? Thanks.
You can try this - websharing
It's free in android market.
I set up network shares on my windows PC, then I use File Manager HD to copy files from the network shares to my tablet.
This seems like a better and easier option to me than trying to get a custom kernel and setting up a share on the tablet.
I assume setting up a network share would be something that was always on and open. On a tablet it could be a constant drain as it would be another constant running process, and also it could be a security risk as you take your tablet out onto open public wifi access points.
leaving the sharing to your home PC, on only your home network seems like the better option.
I haven't tried it but the WD Live drive with the WD2go software is listed as being able to sync folders with mobile devices.
I have tried the WDphotos with one of our WD NAS drives at work and it did work.
Good Evening/Morning All,
I'm looking at picking up an Xperia S next month as an upgrade to my Desire Z. (why won't someone make a decent spec ~4" display phone with a keyboard )
Anyway, one of my favourite apps is Wifi File Explorer by dooblou and was wondering if this is still usable on phones like the Xperia S.
I have an Archos 70 250GB which I imagine would handle the internal storage in a similar fashion - making it fully accessible to Wifi File Explorer.
Could anyone confirm that this app works on the Xperia S?
Just tried it. Yes, it works.
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for now you showed me a better solution.

Thanks for trying it out.
Can't wait for next month now
Great app that. I got it from the Amazon free app of the day promo and it's one of only a few I've kept. Really handy for my media centre pc at home which I don't want to have to keep getting up and plugging my phone into.
I got used to use swiFTP, but stick to that one I think. This is what I like about android, you always learn something new.
You don't need Wifi file explorer. the phone comes with Sony Companion with let's you browse your phone and let you transfer files over bluetooth usb and wifi!
I tried the wifi and works flawless! you only need to follow the instruction wizard.

I will be sure to check that out.
A week to go till I get paid - I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.
I think it's great. Anyone else using it got any tips?
I use it... Sadly, the QR function doesn't work (the camera won't start) and the screenshot thing doesn't work too (even if rooted).
I just downloaded it based on your suggestion and I have to say, this app kicks ass. No more USB cable, ADB, exporting files from dropbox, everything syncs seamlessly. Just what I was looking for.
I use it for a while and I love it. I also have the with cam to scan code.. This must be linked to our device as utilisé working on my mobile phone
i really like this app and the scrren shots work a treat for me, and being able to install and uninstall apps is a nice touch too

you cant,its a known bug in alot of wifi transfer apps, if you have a directory with multiple directories, you cant drag and drop them, or upload them, it doesnt work
Look the email I sent to the developers. I hope they answer, at least :fingers-crossed:
Airdroid on Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
Hi there! First, I want to THANK YOU for this amazing app you created. I use it all the time, and I love it.
I'm sending this email because the QR Code reader of the app doesn't work on my TF300T: it opens a black screen, without the camera. This is the only problem I have with your app, and it would be really great if you fix this (since it will be easy to connect to airdroid, no password needed).
I would also like tomake a little sugestion. When the app runs on a tablet in landscape mode (horizontally), airdroid forces the screen to use the portrait mode (vertically). This is really annoying, especially if I have the dock keyboard connected with the tablet.
Well, thanks in advance, and good luck with your project

Can you explain more? "Them" as in all together or as in one by one ? Because I am sure I can move one (eg a sub-directory in a directory) though I don't use the drag and drop

im talking about multiple directories at one time, as sometimes I transfer folders and files and it only lets you transfer multiple files, not multiple folders,
best option is to use ftp server/client as this works, until fixed,
please explain
Could you explain how you connect thru "ftp server/client". Thanks
Check out swiftftp, works a treat on both my tf300and sgs2
Thanks. Will do.
unfortunately for me this app is really slow when trying to access anything from their website. Takes ages for messages and files to show up on the site. I'm using a fibre optic connection so shouldnt be an issue!

Which - airdroid?
Hello all!
Ever since I updated to Android 5.0.2, Superbeam has been giving FC.
I tried many versions, but to no avail. I guess, Superbeam has some serious compatibility issues with Lollipop.
Anyway, does anyone know any app like Superbeam (which ALSO has a PC CLIENT) since I transfer major files between the two (ROMS, GApps, Music, etc.)
Any help would be vastly appreciated

connecting using windows is simple you need to be on same wifi network & then just goto ex explorer remote manager section turn ftp on & open that url in windows using windows explorer or filezilla for me filezilla works perfectly
but to manage windows files using ex explorer you need to turn on windows sharing , i am attaching few screenshots that should make it easy to understand :fingers-crossed::good::highfive:
for a side note ex explorer also has one more awesome feature sharing files/folders between any android device via wifi , if you click & hold any file/folder you will find more option at bottom right of screen click it and click send it will search all device connected to same wifi & in which ex explorer is open thats it happy sharing :laugh:
