its a simple app... you can download for free and use... no program needed on the computer... you open the program on your phone and it tells you an address that will connect you to your phone with a simple file interface... its password protected so its secure as you want it to be...
I like it so much I paid for it and it allows you to stream music from your phone to your computer, view pictures from the browser to dl them....
all you need is to be on the same router as the computer and you can share files back and forth

I've been using it for a few days now and really like it...

I guess this may be a silly question. But if someone sends me an email with an attachment to my gmail account, I know I can click the "Preview" button and preview it. The phone will download it and play it. But how can i just make it download the attachment and save it to my sdcard?? Like I want to email myself a couple of mp3's then save them to my sdcard and use them as ringtones, or do the same with jpegs and use them as wallpaper. That way I dont have to be at home to plug my phone into my computer to do file transfers.
I don't have my phone yet and I've used WinMo in the past, so I can't directly help answer your question. But have you tried using Dropbox as another way of getting the same thing done? I think it has an android client. You should just be able to save the files in a certain folder on your computer and they automatically sync to whatever other devices you add the account to (including your phone).

You can't.
Try opening gmail in the Web Browser, then you can do it....
Get dropbox from the market and install it on you computer for easy OTA file transfers. Installs in seconds, works well and includes 2gb of storage for free. Also a good way to backup update.zips and .apks without having to keep them on the phone.

I found that by configuring the internal mail application (the one at your home screen) as your mail client instead of the gmail app will allow you to save attachments
You can't download certain attachments.
If you want to do that, navigate to mail.google.com, login and download the attachment.

i'll have to check, but in the gmail app i get the option to preview or download. i cant seem to get the preview to work, but download works fine.
Actually, you can download them. In the market there is an app called Blackmoon. Get it. When you hit preview, it will open a window asking what you'd like to do. You do have to type in a name and ext for it though.

Is there a way to control your PC from your phone remotely? So like I can manage downloads while at work and whatnot?

theres like 97268466 apps to do this. just search the market for remote pc or something. i use pocket cloud and team viewer, but there are tons of vnc apps, log me in, and i hear theres since rdp apps in the works.

Here's what I do for remote access:
- Download and install VNC software for your computer. I use Tight VNC. Make sure you use a password for incoming connections!
- Forward ports 5800 and 5900 to the PC you want to control. This is done in your router. You'll need to know the local IP of your computer. You can google this if you don't know how. It should be something like 192.168.1.100
- Download a VNC viewer from the market. I use Real VNC viewer. It's expensive, so I'd try a few free ones first.
- Find your public IP address. You can find this in your router or google "Whats my IP". There are lots of websites that will show you what your IP is.
- Fire up that VNC app on your phone, enter your public IP and the password you set and you should see your desktop.
A few notes:
- You can set a static IP for your local computer. Chances are this will not change too often.
- Your ISP will change your public IP every so often. You can pay for a static IP that does not change, but I do not. Mine changes every six months or so.
That's about it. Good luck!
There are alot if apps for that, but the one I used didn't work out so well.

phonemypc is the easiest to use that I have found.
Install on your pc and setup your own login and password. Install app on your phone and enter that same login and password.
You can control multiple pcs and you don't have to mess with any ports or pc settings to get it to work.
I will second phonemypc. Have used it for over a year now, very nice.
Story once was my wife couldn't get teh mouse to work on the desktop and needed to print something. She called me, I brought it up on my phone and printed it for her. just one time I really needed it.
Teamviewer is my favorite
I am looking for an app that will let me use my Lumia to connect to the shared folders on my home PC while connected to my home network via WiFi. I want to be able to connect as my PC user account, browse to a UNC path (e.g. "\\DESKTOP-PC\Pictures"), and download/transfer files from the PC to my phone... all without the need for any server software or additional setup on the PC.
I see the "ShareFolder" app in the marketplace (for $2.50), but there is no trial, and few reviews. Does anyone know if that app will suit my needs (one review makes me believe it won't, but the description indicates it will)? Or can anyone recommend a solution?
Thanks very much for reading!
Depends on how much space you need to have for "sharing" and what you need to do. The ShareFolder app can let you look at pictures, but you cant open any other file types on your phone. Not very useful.
I highly recommend using SkyDrive, as now they have a Desktop Folder, just like Dropbox, and then your computer doesn't even need to be on. But space is not huge....
The SkyDrive app is free but there are other apps for SkyDrive
Or, if you don't want to bother with a SkyDrive folder on your desktop, you can check out Allway Sync - it runs off your computer and automatically syncs your specified folders just about anywhere, including SkyDrive. I have the Pro Version and LOVE it!
Otherwise, you have to pay for a "big" cloud space or run a server off your puter, as far as I know.

I find 25Gb to be spacious enough for the content I host on there, really.
Why hallo thare!
As you see in my signature I have a Gnote and a Asus Infinity and my home PC is a MSI GX740 with Windows 7. My idea is that I want to sync some folders so they look all the same on all three devices. The method would be when they all are connected to my home Wifi they shall sync a certain folder. Another neat thing is that everytime I get home and connect my phone or tablet to my Wifi it shall upload the DCIM/Camera dir to my PC so I dont have to mess with that
Is this possible?
Thanx in advance

For sure it's possible, but why not give a chance to e.g. a dropbox. It gives all functionality you ask for, with uploading camera pics directly to dropbox folder on my lap, all folders in dropbox synced in all my units

I was looking for something similar and decide to use box.net as backup/sync tool.. Whenever I do something in one of the folders stored in box, it automatically syncs to the cloud. Then when I use the box app in my tablet, phone or desktop, all the files are synced.
I read somewhere about auto upload photos, but not sure if it was with box.net or dropbox.
hope this helps

Photo sync (camera upload) from a phone works in dropbox, and you have to choose an option whether any data connection or wifi only.
Try Sugarsync.

Faced with a similar need, I worked with a family member in another city to set up a private "Cloud" using FTP. I back my files up to his system, he backs his up to mine.
The PC apps are Filezilla server and client for the FTP functions. SyncBack is an automated backup/sync program. Those take care of PC to PC transfers and syncs.
The android app I chose is FolderSync.
Try GammaSync
For PC-to-Android folder synchronization (only one-way at the moment) I developed a free app which does not require external cloud storage services (like Dropbox or SugarSync). Check GammaSync. It's available on the Play Store. Maybe you'll find it useful

I've downloaded some music in my Omnia W (i8350) and I want them into my PC. I found no way to do that, Windows Phone isolated storage seems a big problem to user. IE doesn't support download any file is the another one. Is there any way?
pannekoek28 said:
Have you tried putting all your music on dropbox or copy? See my description if you don't have an account yet
Edit: you can always save the files offline if you want to. Dropbox and copy also support photo sync!
Last thing I rrecommend is a vpn service like teamviewer or a private vpn

We can only sync music from pc to phone. There's no way to sync downloaded file due to windows phone's isolated storage limitation. Even we can't sync a pdf file.
