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.

I thought this was pretty cool, read it over on Gizmodo. Its really easy to do.
1. Install Dropbox on your computer and your phone
2. Download APK files from a website like xda
3. Drag and drop APK files into your Dropbox folder
4. Open Dropbox app on phone and navigate to APK files
5. Click on APK file file, file will download and ask to install
6. Install file
Read it on gizmodo as well, tried it for the first time today, wicked easy.
I've been doing on my G1 and now I do it this on my Vibrant. I love Dropbox.
I use Belvedere to automatically move anything with the .APK extension to my dropbox/Android/APK folder. Couldn't be easier.
Can we move Avatar to Dropbox (below 2GB) and delete it off the card? I mean, yes.. I know THAT can be done, but I was curious if this broke some patent or anything?
I am BRAND new to Dropbox (not even on the PC yet).
I'm a fan of this:

awesome drop is nice moving a file from your pc to your phone... but it's a little limited in that's the only flow.
What if you want to share a file on your phone? I'd like to upload it to dropbox and share it that way...

Yes you can move it there but if you want to watch it you would have to download it back to the phone every time you want to watch it. Dropbox can't stream the movie if thats what you were trying to do, dropbox is used for online storage.
There's an app called WebSharing that works over Wifi. It runs a web server on the phone which you can access from any computer and allows you to upload/download and move files around on the phone. It's pretty cool, check it out.
Is there a way to create a dropbox folder on the sd or internal memory and keep it synced with dropbox? Currently I have to download the pdf files that I store on my drop each time I want to view them, sometimes im not connected online.

I don't believe there is an offline mode. You can download the files the ln use file manager to copy them to a different folder for later but the initial time you need web.

Yep I use it everyday love it WebSharing bought and paid for no need for dropbox here I'm never really installing apk's anywhere but home. Plus if i'm not at home I just download it to the phone and it handles the rest.
I was wondering if there is way to transfer files between pc and the vibrant. I would like to directly access my computer files while I am away from my computer when wifi is not in range. I have been searching on the market but can't seem to find an app that isn't using wifi. Thanks.
Do you mean something like dropbox? It syncs well and I think you get about 2 gigs. Use this link and we'll both get extra space:

No, I would like to directly transfer files between devices almost like remote desktop.
SOLVED, even found this out myself!

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

Total Commander (you need to install the plugin also, to access computers over the network)

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.

I cannot seem to reliably transfer files between my Nexus S and my Prime using bluetooth. I almost always get a "Service Discovery Failed" or "Stream Closed" message. Does anyone know anything about this? Is anyone having similar problems?
Update: Upon further research, it might be because of the file type. Frigging ridiculous! It won't accept a .apk file via bluetooth. If you rename it to something else, like .zip the file is accepted. Is Google starting to implement some anti piracy nonsense?
I have lots of games I have purchased using SIM spoofing apps(Android Market does not support my country) on my Nexus S that I cannot access on my unrooted Prime. This is why I want to transfer them over from my Nexus S.
trying doing it via USB or sdcard. What I did was copied a few apks from my infuse to my home cloud drive. And then just used es file explorer from my prime to pull them back down and bad a Bing. Got them apps

That's a viable work around. But, it's tedious to do this for every new app I purchase. Anyway, the renaming file extension works but, I was just taken aback by the need for it.
I have been using androwook rom v1.5 but still can not receive apk files from other devices .. is there any solution other than changing the file extension will be accepted?
I just email the .apk to myself when I want it on another device. Never had an issue that way. Good luck
only zip files it is possible to transfer not apk
Dropbox is awesome for this, I backup apps using Astro & upload them to my Dropbox.
Comes in handy when you download a dud update like the latest YouTube app

Hey Guys,
So I guess it is a known issue with AOSP/AOKP Roms that MTP file transfer is not working and you have to use USB Storage mode to transfer files from your PC to your Note --- unless I'm doing something wrong.
Unfortunately, File Transfer is just too slow. I only hit 1.86MB-2.00MB/sec (according to Windows 7). I've tried so many ROMs like AoSPxxx, KingKang, SeraSlim and they display the same issue.
I tried Non-AOSP Roms, which of course, uses MTP - file transfer is so much different. probably 20x faster.
To the Guys who are using AOSP/AOKP ROMS, what method do you use to transfer files to your Note? Do you use a third party app to have a faster file transfer?
I tried wirelessly using File Expert's FTP and it is actually a little bit faster compared to the USB storage mode, but not by much (Wireless FTP transfer is about 3MB/sec)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Remove sd card, put it in an adaptor, and move the files within your pc file manager. Its way faster for moving lots of files at once, including time to shut down and reboot phone.
You said any suggestion welcomed.
Lol ... yup i forgot to mention in my original post ... of course except that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Hmm I tried kies. I think it also uses FTP since the same file I copied using File Expert and FTPServer finished at the exact same time as Kies Air. So it is also around 3.0MB/sec
Is there an app that can utilize file transfers using the USB cable connection instead of wireless?
I guess I must be easy to please. 3mb per second is more than enough for me. That being said, I get approx 5mb through es file explorer ftp

I'll give file explorer a try.
