Try Superbeam or Fast File Transfer. But you can also support developers with a little donation Under 2$ is not very much. ^^

Use SHAREit it is the best free wifi file transfer app by Lenovo !! Highly recommended !!

If you don't want to have ads you have to pay for app. Developers not work for free...

There are too many free android apps developed by Custom Android Application Development services those are free on Google play for wifi file transfer. I am listing a few here.
AirDroid
WiFi File Explorer
Solid Explorer
ES File Explorer File Manager
Samba Filesharing for Android

TeamViewer haves file transfer function also
Sent from the grey stuff inside my skull

Es file explorer does the trick for me. There are also plenty of apps that create a file server accessable from a browser. Main problem wireless being much slower than an usb transfer.
But seriously, if you're demanding enough to want free, expect some adds. Surely you don't work for free so why should others. It's not as if you couldn't use an adblock if you're really inclined.

Man alive. Just pay the euro or two it costs to get rid of the ads. People either pay 600 euro on a smartphone or get tied into a contract for 40+ euro a month but refuse point blank to pay another euro for an app they will probably use few days for years to come. Most apps will cost less than a cup of coffee. Just buy it, support the developer. Why should they be expected to work for free??

Es file explorer pro. Works brilliantly.

Torrent Download on Sony S1

Witch torrent software do you people use for downloading on to your S1?

I have been trying to figure out the same thing too. Utorrent has an app but that will only redirect a download through an ip address configuration to your computer. As far as a direct download to your tablet I am not sure of an application that will support that at this time.
Adownloader is what I use when I need to download to the tablet
I. Use Ttorrent.. but im not very happy with the download speed..

I've been using mTorrent Pro. Works like a charm, only the notifications get a bit annoying. And, since I have uTorrent remote, i'm always prompted to pick either mTorrent or uTorrent remote.
MOD EDIT talking about warez/illegal Downloading is agains XDAs rules
Check out Swarm, it's in the Market. It works quite well and download speeds are good.

how to remove ads?

hi
if i use wifi no ads in xda free app. if i use data-3g i got ads. i push host file in etc folder and used adfree app but no luck.
pls a solution.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Buy the premium app.
The XDA app was probably developed by someone in their free time. If you don't want to look at ads in the free version, the least you can do is chip in a buck or two to whoever developed it and buy the premium app.
Quite simple, navigate to Play Shop, search for XDA PREMIUM, click buy! Voila, you now have no ads in XDA app

Could be the wifi router you are connected to when you are not getting ads has a firewall active, that is blocking the ad server.
pissyhun, are you still on krinyo's SlimROM? Or are you trying to push his hosts file to another ROM. That's what I want to do when I try AOKP, but have to research first - never done it before.

This thread is hilariously inappropriate in so many ways
FWIW, I have xda premium. My slightly OT question to the OP is regarding installation of hosts file, nothing else. Adfree doesn't work that well for me.
Adaway works better than adfree, the question could have been phrased better though.

Dropbox is the most preferred option.
I personally use Box as it gave me lifetime 50GB storage, it runs sweet on my SGS2 & I use it every day. The only 1 issue I have is the upload limit, so it can take a few minutes to upload large files. But that is something I can happily live with, or I can upgrade for a few pounds & then the limits are removed. So my point is use whatever you feel suits you best, not somebody else

Box as they give me 50gb lifetime storage. They do limit upload speeds & file sizes but if you pay for upgrade the limits are removed. Its very cheap too considering what you get for your pound notes

Hand down Dropbox because I can sync it with titanium backup ADIE and my computer.
I only have 10GB on Dropbox, but more and more app are adding Dropbox interrogation and right now that's more useful then 45gb of space I have nothing to do with.

There's Box integration in TiBu now, by the way.
I would say dropbox is the more popular one out of the 2.
Here is a guide to help you get more space out of dropbox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520930
I use Dropbox because I can run it on Windows, GNU/Linux and my cellphone. Not sure if the other app mentioned in the OP can do that, but Dropbox does with without much of a problem..
I like DropBox for the seamless synchronization - I always know that I am working on the latest version of a file without having to manually download it. At least the way that I have things set up, Dropbox feels a lot more like an extension of my existing storage rather than a separate storage space.
I tried box some time ago, but i found the maximum file size very annoying. None of that with dropbox.

I started using Box since the free 50GB promo. Titanium allows you to backup with box so now I can have all my apps backed up and still have plenty of space left.

I use both. Normally prefering Dropbox but mobile version are light years behind desktop version. In principle mobile version is not usable.

Give Dropsync a try - truly makes dropbox as seamless on mobile as it is on the desktop.
I personally use both. I use Box to keep a backup of, like, everything. I use Dropbox for sharing files since it's so easy. Share a link, person clicks on link, file automatically downloads.
I prefer Dropbox. The only reason is that there is upload limit and bandwidth limit in box.
Above all, I would rather prefer minus which gives upto 50 GB extended space with no upload and bandwidth limits!

[Q] Remote File Transfer App?

Hey all, I have been looking everywhere for an app or method to remotely transfer files to AND from my android device from my pc, without the restriction of having to be on my local network wifi. I'm beginning to think there may not be one available, although I can't see why not.
Any Ideas?
If all you need is file transfering, try an FTP server.

Dropbox?
Pocketcloud, or teamviewer used with dropbox can accomplish this. Remote access your pc, copy file to dropbox, and download to sd card. A little tedious, but works for me.

Those all sound like they need WiFi, sounds like he's look to use Bluetooth? I mean you got to use something.
Agreed that dropbox or similar cloud storage may be your best bet. Just set up the desktop client to sync to a folder on your computer, and to go back to your phone, you can use a program like Dropsync, which offers two way syncing between phone and dropbox.

I wish somebody could get sshdroid or quicksshd to work over 3G or 4G, but I don't know enough about VZs network. If that works for somebody, then let me know.
One could use Tasker to maintain a VPN connection. I use VPNRoot.
Team viewer now can control droid remotely.
A phone as a PPTP server would be ultimate.

Blocking ads?

I can't seem to find any apps in the Market that black ads.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I am currently running CM10.1. I didn't have any ads running ViperROM 1.2. Is there any way to block them?
I think the play store took away apps that could blocks apps. If I'm not mistaken you need sideload it

Just to have options, here's one for AdAway.

Download f-droid that is an alternative market for open source apps. It has ad-away which is the best one(dont get adblock its a stupid method and always needs to be running)

I use host file blocking as well. Adaway makes it easy to update the host file on a regular basis although I flash so often I usually just set my hosts file and don't bother with the app or updating.

I was actually wondering about that Zone. The host files I've modified on the PC have always been related to using software features.
For ad blocking are the host files the same regardless of if its on a desktop PC or mobile phone, or is the one we use identical to desktop browsers?
Since mobile sites have a different m.example.com URL often I didn't know if the host files were different.

HOST file to my knowledge is the same across all platforms including Windows, OSX, iPhone, Android and probably Linux. The same file can be used for all of them. My HOST only blocks like ads.example.com so yes if you wanted to block a m.example.com you would have to add that but wouldn't hurt say Windows.
