If you’re anything like me, there’s times when you just don’t feel like grabbing your USB cable for a quick file transfer. Well, now you don’t have to, thanks to a great little app called WiFi File Explorer, which allows you to browse and transfer files stored on your phone over WiFi.

The process is fairly straight forward. Simply connect the phone to your WiFi network, launch the app to receive the unique address, and then enter that into your browser. Now you are ready to browse your phone’s SD card over your WiFi connection.

The application comes in two version. The free edition does not allow for uploads, only downloads. Also, neither version has a way to transfer files in bulk, so it is best used for a few quick files at a time.

My solution for this is SwiFTP and filezilla. Allows for read/write, batch operations, etc. Much cleaner and easier imo.

OnAir does this, and it’s much nicer

I use SwiFTP too. Dropbox is great for moving files over the internet, but IMO SwiFTP is the best for wi-fi without having to sync via external servers.

The smart phone market is still not mature yet, so your message is not quite correct. Eventually, there will only be a few manufacturers left standing. Personally, I won't buy anything besides Samsung or HTC, but Samsung is winning my loyalty. They make damn good devices. It's not a coincidence that apple is picking on Samsung in court. In add […]

Re: Google Loses Appeal Over Trial Period in Taiwan
I agree with you. Taiwanese could then complain to their authorities to get them to remove that huge pole out of Taiwan consumer law's ass. Being pressure by own people is far more effective than by corporate giant. […]
