I tried "wifi file transfer pro" & "wifi file explorer pro" both detects the phone's internal and external memory but when I try to copy files over from my PC to the phone. It will display some kind of error and the actual files don't appear even though it's shown as 100% transferred using both apps..
However, I can create new folders using these apps.. strange..
What's the reason, anyone knows?
Not sure what the issue is on your phone. wifi file transfer pro works fine on my GS3.

Ok, I found the reason.. When I use wifi file transfer pro and set the upload mode using flash, it doesn't work properly but the normal way is fine
Could it be browser related? I'm using FF 14..
FF beta ???

Does anyone know if there are any Apps or ROMS that allow access to SD card on the Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Im using DropBox at the moment but it takes hours to upload music/films.
I know Kies is an option, but it is not registering my device due to the ROM I am running.
Any help will be appreciates.
If you are running Windows then load the Samsung USB driver and it will mount as a USB drive. I believe for that to work you need debugging off (I could have this backwards though).
The driver is in this download along with all the files needed to root the device

i'm using the USB adaptor and FAT 32 memory sticks to get my data onto the tab. It's worked fine for me, not as easy as syncing with itunes and iphone but it works simply enough.
Kies is a joke. I managed to get some pics onto my tab, but they were all scrambled. It wouldn't find any video's to transfer. WIFI explorer didn't work for me either but I'm glad the USB adaptor worked for me and it's a hell of a lot quicker than WIFI.
'TCommander' - Worked a Treat. Thank you
A good alternative is using ES File Explorer and adding other computers on your home wifi network. Then you can browse files from your computer(s) from your Tab.

First I used the SD adaptor but the speed is poor, but far better as wi-fi. Now I use a HDD via usb-adaptor and keep my files on the HDD. Copy big files to the tab is a nightmare imo.
So I got my SGS3 yesterday and noticed that the Android File Transfer app won't work, which used to work well when I owned a Galaxy Nexus. I tried it on 2 different Macs and it won't work on neither. The app does not recognize the phone being connected.
When I connected it on windows (bootcamp, same Mac) it was recognized, so it's not a hardware fail, it's a software bug.
My Q is, has anybody successfully managed to use the Android File Transfer app together with a Galaxy S3.
Thx, all the help greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I just tried setting the USB Connection mode to Camera (PTP) and Android File Transfer now sees my phone. Everything is fine.
But, DAMN YOU SAMSUNG, code more carefully!
Thanks! This helped me out as well! Was worried something was wrong with my new phone .
enabling camera/PTP mode for usb connection
Hi, I am struggling with this problem of AFT not working with samsung S3. Could you elaborate on how and where to make this change in USB setting - is it on the camera or macbook pro?

On your phone, when connected to the AFP program on your mac, you'll see a USB symbol in the notification area. Pull it down and you'll see it says something like 'Connected as media device' and it'll give you options underneath that to change it. Select that and you'll get to a settings page which will allow you to set your phone as a media device ((MTP) or as a camera (PTP) - do the latter and it should work fine.
I have to say, I love this phone but am not overly enamoured with the mac syncing aspect of it. Most apps in the store are flaky at best or don't work at all, TBH. Using the above method, I've managed to get my media over to the phone by dragging/dropping from iTunes and iPhoto.
Problem is, I still can't find a way for my computer to - reliably - see my phone as a camera when I plug it in e.g. invisible to iPhoto and Image capture.
If you find a way around my problem, please post it up. HTH.
get an app called airdroid (xfer via browser) or file expert & use a FTP program to transfer files from your Mac to the S3
I was going to say that it was another way that Apple is trying to boycot Samsung's phones along with all the suing going on lol.

Thanks for that. Had a look at Airdroid and it seems really slick. Pity though, as it has issues with external storage.
Never mind, I'm dragging/dropping stuff from iPhoto/iTunes to folders which I the keep in sync with CheetahSync. It's all a bit inelegant, but it does the job for now.
hey guys, i'm having an issue with the file transfer. Did what the OP stated above and I can see both internal memory and SD, but when i tried to drag and drop from Finder it is giving me an error, saying my screen is locked (even when it isn't) and asking me to reconnect. anyone else have this problem? for now i'm transferring using File Explorer but its a pain in the ass. thanks!
EDIT: really weird, first file i tried was an mp3 and it kept giving me an error, now i'm moving an avi and looks like its working. apologies
Still having trouble
I'm having serious trouble with AFT and tried what's been suggested here but it's still not working for me.
I've installed AFT on my MacBook (OS X Lion).
All that happens is in all tries is that when I plug in the S3, AFT simply says:
"Could not connect to device
Try reconnecting or restarting your device"
I tried both with no luck. I tried it with selecting Camera (PTP) mode and then with Media device (MTP) mode. No luck. I tried both with and without "USB debugging" selected. No luck. I tried reinstalling AFT. No luck. Restarting my MacBook. No luck.
Any ideas?
Don't connect it its mtp connect it as a camera

Just a heads up. Installing AFT on my macbook air caused my usb to Ethernet dongles to stop working. AFT had to be removed to fix them. Applecare are aware and IIRC blame Google.

You're right as it doesn't seem to recognise the S3 at all when on MTP but AFT starts up each time I select PTP (i.e. my Mac recognises it when in the Camera mode) but I just end up getting the "Could not connect to device, Try reconnecting or restarting your device" message.
Strangely enough AFT needs the phone to be in camera mode to work.
But KIES for OSX needs the phone to be in MTP mode. I couldnt get wireless kies to work (but didnt try all that hard either)
well we've found another reason never to buy a mac
i dont have an s3 but i was googling this issue, i havent got a samsung device on ics working on my mac yet, my tf101 tablet just decided to work today after numerous errors about it not being connected.
AFT used to work, no longer does
Hi
I had this problem when I just got my Galaxy S3 at the end of May, and switching the connection mode to camera (ptp) did the trick. Now, however, regardless of the connection type I have chosen or whether or not I have enabled debugging, I cannot use AFT. At no point does it recognize my device, it just keeps telling me "No Android device found. Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started." I have reinstalled the program and still no luck.
Further info: I'm running 10.7.4 on an early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro
Please help
Samsung changed something in firmware LFB that doesn't allow AFT to connect in MACs anymore.

Yeah, MTP never worked for me on my Macbook, while PTP worked as a workaround until LFB (and later). With LFB changing to PTP (by default) pops up Image Capture, which, if everything worked as it should, is what you'd expect I suppose. The problem is that Image Capture doesn't find any pictures on the device even though it recognises that an I9300 is connected - and Android File Manager now doesn't work in either MTP or PTP mode.
So I am not the only one not being able to transfer files using AFT? Or has someone figured it out?
Well I run KIES now and open the file browser that way. The only way I could make work on OSX. On windows I have no problems just connecting it and accessing.
I have this problem two samsung please fix this

Hello, Ive been having this problem with SGS1, and I still have it with SGS3. Whenever I try to share a file via bluetooth, it takes ages to send. For example, I want to send 1gb file between my SGS3 and friend's One X, after 5 minutes there is only 2-4% of the file sent. What can I do to speed up file transfer speed?
Thanks in advance
use wifi
Hahaha bluetooth is not designed for that, use wifi direct
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Wifi direct always fail, because when i try to send a file, it just doesnt get sent. I connect with someone, but when i send files, another person doesnt get anything.
As has been said already, bluetooth isn't designed for large files so the transfer rate is slow. It's mainly designed for small files for example music files, You would be best off using Wifi direct or failing that, copy the file to a PC via USB then copy it to the other phone.
As the title says, is it supposed to be like this?
Fine here
When i do that

Thanks for the reply! Is you device encrypted because mine is.
All the nexus 9 tablets are encrypted by default (I'm not sure about the LTE devices though, but they must be too).

I had a similar problem with a Nexus 7 it was so bad the file transfer eventually failed. Never found a solution for MTP transfer, instead I pulled the files I wanted using a network file share and ES File Explorer.
I was using a mac and the mac android file transfer program.
Same problem here too.
Transferring files from my Mac using the MTP app, both the tablet and the app seem to struggle.
Sometimes the transfer fails and I get a message from the MTP app saying "please unplug and restart your device".
I try to use FTP transfer over my WiFi network as much as I can to avoid this problem.
Mtp va ubuntu is nice
Hi
does anyone have the file explorer WiFi transfer working on their PACE ? I installed the apk on both my phone and the watch and watched the youtube video several times but cant get mine to connect.
I choose the "access from.." option on the watch, connected to WiFi and started the service and noted the IP address and port. I then open up the app on my phone and choose the "remote" option followed by FTP option and then add a remote location. When adding the remote location I add the IP address and port. There is a space for username and password but I don't know what to put in there ? I tried just leaving those blank and choosing anonymous but it didnt connect.
I see on the youtube video for this that the uploader already has a FTP location created with username and password populated but doesnt show how this is done.
Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong ? Thanks
The watch needs to be awake or it shuts off the WiFi connection, you can try to do it while charging watch to keep it awake.
Note: on the other device just use the browser and ftp:// IP address : port
I was playing about with it this morning and found the issue. I was using the default port of 4045 on the file manager on the watch which is blocked. Tried to use Chrome browser to access and was given ERR_UNSAFE_PORT message. Changed the port to 2000 and all worked OK.
Would be great now if a new feature was put out in next release to allow for either increase in lock time or enable/disable function
Hello, I just tried to install this free app Wifi File Transfer apk from https://apkpure.com/wifi-file-transfer/com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer and it's working really great!
I used adb to install it.
Once installed click on it to launch it, it is true that the screen is small but you can navigate by dragging up with the finger, the upper part of the app to "start" button then click on it. Then a message appears to check that everything works, click on the "V" green then a "stop" button appears, drag with your finger without clicking on "stop" the upper part, the link appears which can be used to connect by an internet browser (any of them)
Click on "Stop" to stop the app.
Pros: you can access all the files of your watch and for example transfer themes directly into your watch without having to connect it to your computer. Another advantage, you can use any computer or device with web browser connected to the same wifi as the watch. So it will work with your smartphone too.
Cons: do not stay too long connected because your battery will not like too much ...
Hello, I am trying the wifi file transfer, but when I try to start it, it says "wifi not connected". I go to watch settings to connect the wifi, but when I come back to application, it says again wifi not connected.
Any idea?
Thanks

Try this File Manager:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager
I downloaded it to my phone then exported the app and side loaded to the watch. It works pretty well, it has a button to activate WiFi (no need to go to watch settings). It creates an FTP server on watch you can connect from anywhere in the same WiFi network, even the same app on phone will work. When creating the FTP connection, choose any user name but leave password blank. You may need to activate the useful PaceOn app so the watch won't go to sleep (it closes the WiFi connection). Good luck.

Delete files on the watch? You don't need FTP, you can do it using the file manager itself. As a Plus, you can also uninstall side loaded apps too. Cheers

Has anyone got the WiFi transfer "pro" version working. Today I installed the free ver which worked fine but has size limitations. I decided to buy the "pro" version but it wont install on the amazfit. Strange as free & pro ver's were same.
Did you try to uninstall the free version before you installed the pro version?
