I have that, but how do I send stuff to my computer then?

setup the network feature in ES and it will detect your shares on your pc if you set any up with Samba server

Scan detects nothing. Manually adding ip gives error

Wifi file explorer pro sounds like exactly what you are looking for.. Dropbox/Minus is a 2 step process, since the files are moved to the Cloud, not straight to your pc.
Apparently sugarsync does what you're looking for as well.

Here's a few other you can try to see if it's what you are looking for.
Samba Filesharing
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&feature=search_result
Total Commander (you need to install the plugin also, to access computers over the network)
http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=30417

WiFi Explorer PRO is exactly what you are asking for. If you had that amazon app it was the free paid app of the day about a month ago. I use this all the time, you turn the app on and enter the I.P. it gives you in your PC browser and all your SD files pop up in your browser. You can download and upload faster then connecting with a usb cable Turn the app off when done and thats it, easy as pie, lol.

Works great and so easy! But can't do it the other way, right? I might also like to copy stuff from PC to phone.

I use websharing and it works like wifi explorer. It's useful for when I don't have a usb cable close by or don't wanna hassle with removing sd card. I'm pretty satisfied with it so far

Those apps are cool for files, but if you just want to send copied text to your phone (or a phone number or web link), the Google Chrome to Phone extension works great. It's fast too since it uses "Push" technology and you don't have to have other software running on your PC or launch any programs anywhere. It just works.

Wireless access to SD Card

To access your sdcard from windows explorer ... wireless.
Go here to get the FTP server for your phone http://www.rapfox.com/
It’s free and very easy to set up.
I then went to windows explorer and mapped my sdcard as a network drive.
if you are on a network the address will be whatever was assigned.
You can now access your phones sdcard from windows explorer without plugging into usb.
Just use explorer to move files to and from your Flyer.
I then used MS Sync toy on my laptop http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...5-98d0592d8c52 Also free to sync music and photos.
Just start the ftp server on the Flyer and click sync on my laptop and everything syncs up
another one if you are rooted...
I found Root FTP Server here https://market.android.com/developer?pub=waterdev
Using this you will have full root access and can do anything root explorer can do
Moving files in and out, set permissions ... Very handy for me
Edit ... More info on Root FTP Server here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945188
And yet another one:
Got to the market and get kWS web server https://market.android.com/details?id=org.xeustechnologies.android.kws&feature=search_resultit’s free.
Next go to no_ip.com and set up a free account. After you have chosen your account name (like http://xxxx.redirectme.net) go to account settings and check port80 redirect.
Now start kWS on your phone go to settings and set your dns server to no-ip.com and your username/password.
You can now access your sc card from any computer with an internet connection.
I use this to share cad files with my employees when I’m away from my office
This is pretty neat. I'll definitely have to look into this.
Thanks alot will be checking this out soon as well.
Nice I'm going to set this up when I get home today thankss

Internal Storage is pissing me off

Transferring files using USB is too slow. Even on a 3mb mp3 it asks if I want to copy it because it might not be usable. I press ok and it takes another 20 seconds to copy. So I copied 3gb (took about 15 minutes) of music over to the internal hd and then I get a strange error. I close the window and reopen the drive and see that all the music I just transferred is completely gone. WTF IS GOING ON?!?!
I'm getting so many errors accessing the internal drive, creating folders, and copying files. It's almost as if the internal 32gb is useless... I can't use it unless I want to wait 27 minutes to transfer a 1.5gb movie...
Someone reported the same with accessing microSD from USB connection.
Do you get any pop ups on the computer saying that "This device can perform faster if plugged into a USB 2.0 port"?
Also, can I suggest doing a local file transfer over the WiFi?
it's all due to MTP. it is the transfer protocol of the devil.
why google decided this is what their devices should use from 3.x onwards is beyond me.
google's company motto should really be "one step forward, fifteen steps back."

It's so they can unify app storage with data, apparently:
With the unified storage model we introduced in Honeycomb, we share your full 32GB (or 16GB or whatever) between app data and media data. That is, no more staring sadly at your 5GB free on Nexus S when your internal app data partition has filled up -- it's all one big happy volume.
However the cost is that Android can no longer ever yield up the storage for the host PC to molest directly over USB. Instead we use MTP. On Windows (which the majority of users use), it has built-in MTP support in Explorer that makes it look exactly like a disk. On Linux and Mac it's sadly not as easy, but I have confidence that we'll see some work to make this better.

Although I suppose there's no reason they couldn't offer a special Mass Storage mode that locks out running programs. The link also suggests that the external microSDHC card should support mass storage? I don't have a HC/ICS device to know yet, though.
This whole storage "issu" is so not a big deal at all.
It's that way on every honeycomb tablet and it works okay overall.
Sure maybe it's gonna take a while the first time to transfere all your content to your empty device but once all your **** is inside, you don't use it that much and never for such a big amount of data.
The thing with Android is that you can actually directly download the stuff you want on your tablet, no need to plug it into your computer 95% of the time.

which begs the next question,
How easy is it to set up file transfer over the network between Prime and a Windows PC?
Setting up a network with a windows PC is hard, whatever the other device is.
But aside that I'm pretty sure it's fairly easy. And I think Asus software (myNet) can help you do this (never tried)

On my desktop PC I have a directory browser setup on my PC that I use any device that accepts IPs as input.
It's a Window's feature that has to be installed separately.
Internet Information Services
I use ES file explorer on N1. I connected it to my Windows PC over wi-fi once and it remembers it. I usually copy files back and forth using my phone only. It is pretty handy.
On prime, I have just installed it but not used it to transfer files, so cant comment on the speed.
DropBox if you're using Windows, SparkleShare if you're not.

+1. After my Prime charging cable fell apart when i tried to unplug it, I had to resort to network transfers and ES file explorer did the job rather painlessly. The only little hurdle I had to jump over, and this might have been user-error on my part, but it asked for a username and password to the machine I was trying to connect to. So I had to add a password to my user account which previously did not have one to get it to connect.
Same here. ES file explorer is great stuff. Just put in the needed IP address for your PC + username/password for the user account, and it gets you in and loads directories pain-free.
I don't intend on connecting my Prime to my PC until a one-click root is in the works =)

Because transfer over WiFi + ES has been significantly faster with every Android device I've ever connected to my laptop.
Besides, I kinda get bored of tired-ole drag n' drop.

NICE! Using SwiFTP now and it transfers a lot faster than before. Thanks
Easiest way I found was, pop the MicroSD in my PC load it up. Pop it in the prime, use a file explorer and move it over fast and easy.

[App] Webtop like app to your PC/laptop

Wow all the hype about webtop check this app out "Airdroid". Its virtual webtop for your PC works through FTP. Check it out I promise you won't be disappointed.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
Thanks AtriXDA Developers!!!
I've been using that app for a couple of weeks now. It's great, but the file transfer doesn't seem to let me access the external SD card. The only directory that is accessible is /sdcard.
I have noticed the same thing. I stumbled upon this after loosing my USB wire and wanting to transfer some music onto my Atrix. What I do is copy the songs onto my internal and just use astro file manager to move them were I want them.
Thanks AtriXDA Developers!!!
EsFile Explorer has Network Shares, Local Files, FTP, and DropBOX all for free.. never needed anything else for file transfers

I don't think it is like webtop. It is just a management tool. It doesn't play the apps on the phone. And to be frank, I think it is useless. I have to connect to the same wireless every time I want to do something with my phone. I guess the webtop app makes you use your phone apps and power on another LCD.
Anyway, the GUI is great and everything, but as I said I think it is useless...

I wouldn't say it's useless, but it's nothing like Webtop. I used it for a period long before this was posted, and all I really found use for was file transfer, but it's slow. Concept and UI are great, it's just nothing new or spectacular.
Ya I also tried it for a little bit but nothing about it was a big game changer

Wifi File Transfer?

I have the App Wifi Explorer Pro which turns my Prime into a Server and then I can go to my PC and Wifi connect to this Prime server and do file transfer. Now this is just being Lazy but is there a way to do this in "reverse". Can I be on my Prime and access my PC via WiFi Network without have to go to my PC to Transfer Files? I have my PC as a Server and when I go to the App MyNet I see my Network and I can Play music Files and view Pictures off my PC though my Prime but I don't see a way I can transfer files off my PC to my Prime with this App. Is there an App for this or is it even possible? Like I said I know this is just being Lazy but would like to know if I could do this.
Thanks
ES file explorer can browse network shares. I use it for my NAS and transfer files to my prime from the luxury of my couch. Don't have my pc setup like yours but if you can access through lan I see no reason it wouldn't work.

Thanks for reply and info. I got the App and it found my PC upon scan but something is Blocking my access. It probably Firewall or something I just need to dig round and see if I can figure out how to set up.
I got ES explorer finally going so it accesses my Network and it transfers files between my Prime and Home Network. The key to making it work if anyone else tries this App is that your PC has to have a User ID with a Password. Since I am the only one using my Home PC I had never created a Log in Password for my User name I had just left it Blank. You have to a Password to make this work.

Wrong
It works perfectly without requiring userid's or passwords. just go to your (assuming ur using w7) W7 computer, go to your network preferences, DISABLE password protected sharing AND let windows manage homegroup settings.
ES file explorer works like a charm BUT it has a big downside, the average throughput is rly disapointing.
Thanks. I am using Win and I didn't know about PW setting.

Surely there must be a way to simply use ES on it's own, I am sharing D: drives on both computers and ES shows a D: as NOT having a $, and it also shows C$, ADMIN$, and strangely a D$. I can open Users and see all those folders, but I have no useful data there, nor do I want to put any there. Could someone pretty please revisit this and give really detailed instructions? ES error message says:
LOGIN FAILURE
This may be caused by:
- The account has no permissions
I'm so close, I just need one more branch down in the tree and I'm there....argh

You should have a look at AirDroid it's free and simple to use I use it all the time to transfer files and entire folders over my wifi.

Believe me. I have tried all file explorers that support shared network drivers (file expert, es file explorer, honeycomb HD file explorer.) All are very slow, although I prefer honeycomb HD fe for its intuitive interface on tablets. But the absolute best in terms of file transfer speed is by far Solid Explorer. Give it a try. I use a Cisco Linksys wireless router.

how to transfer files from pc to android in and out wirelessly

found this really cool trick for you guys that dont know about it just follow the instructions, wirelessly put music and files into your device link >>http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/4158...between-your-pc-and-android-phone-wirelessly/
Using AirDroid is a lot easier than this
That's cool. I use WiFi File Explorer. You can use a Internet Browser to browse/upload/download files. It has a great web-based gui.
Thanks to all of you for those. I guess I never even thought about WiFi file transferring. I always just use usb.
