File PUSH software

I'm not looking for a two-way sync here. I want a one way sync!!
So here's what I want to do. My company wants to switch our salesforce to tablets, be it ipads or otherwise. After researching ipads, I find their software choices to be extremely limiting. And while the android software is generally similar, I can root and create 'factory' images of how these devices will be setup for our employees right on the SD card for emergency recovery, so I've pretty much settled on the galaxy tab 10.1. As far as sync software goes, I want an android program that will check a remote location for files and download them. This needs to be automatic, if left in the hands of our reps, nothing would work.
So I'm thinking a desktop app that allows me to select a folder/folders to upload from, and an android app that downloads those files. Extra points if the client side recognizes when a file has been updated and downloads the newest version.
Ideas?

I'm not 100% sure if this is what you're looking for, and I haven't tried the app myself but based on the description it seems as though this app would do exactly what you want. You could set up triggers to send to each device to download your new files.

[SOLVED] Share Files Between Two or More Android Devices Wirelessly

Good day fellow androidians!
I have two android devices. An HTC Inspire 4g and a HTC Jetstream tablet. I have an unlimited data plan on the Inspire (I know lucky me ) and I'm currently tethering it to my Jetstream tablet.
What I would like though is to access the files on my Inspire on my tablet and vice versa through smb, ftp, dlan, or something. If it can't be done vice versa that's fine. I just don't want to use something like dropbox or have to pair both devices by bluetooth. I want to be able to access the files seamlessly and wirelessly the way I can access them on a computer with the Samba Filesharing App.
I know there has to be a way to do this, but have looked everywhere and can't seem to find the solution.
[edit]: The HTC Jetstream isn't rooted so that probably cancels out the vice versa part then right? If so, again that's fine.
Check post #3 for the solution.

I did a quick search on the market and found a Wireless File Transfer Pro app. Its free. I tested it out. When you set the app to active it gives you an ip address that you use to connect to the phone or tablet. It gives you an ip address of xxx.xxx.x.xxx:xxxx and you just type that into the browser and it pulls up a file directory where you can access all your files. It had a problem with exiting the app though. The file transfer didn't want to stop. I had to force stop from the settings but that might be a app issue. It seemed simple. Hope that helps.

Never mind. I figured it out lol.
For those who would like to know how to do this here you go:
Requirements
1. Your devices need to have DLNA.
2. You need to download SoftMedia Player from the market
3. You need to be on the same WiFi or tethered together.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.softmedia.cybergarage.trial&hl=en​
Once you installed SoftMedia Player on both devices open it up on both and press Menu.
Then tap Preferences.
Tap on Share Contents.
Set Shared Contents Settings and Device Name if you want.
Tap back to go to the main interface of the app.
Tap "choose a media source"
Tap on your source (SoftMedia Server by default or the device name you set).
Tap "browse and play media"
Browse your files, play them and enjoy

Thanks for the quick reply shugga101.
Was writing my post the same time you wrote yours that didn't even get to see it till after lol.
Hope this helps other people.

softmedia player is gone
Hey Mudcat, the link you provided gives a not found, and a search of the play store doesn't return any results for "softmedia player". do you have any other suggestions to replace it?

I know myself i use wifi share. Only need it installed on one device, works through a browser on the other device. Works over wifi (of course) or via android ap. Just for some reason while hosting over androidAP it doesnt list the Ip. But I got that memorized already, plus page is bookmarked. Quick n easy.
I'll have to look into your method. Sounds interesting. Glad you got it sorted and thx for sharing!

BOX giving away 50GB storage with new android app

Box giving away 50GB of storage with the new Android app
Just thought I would pass on a sweet deal. Box is now giving a lifetime account with 50GB of storage if you download and register the app from any Android phone. Here's the link to the marketplace:

Expansion of Cloud's memory
I am surprised at the generosity of cloud services. At first, they offered 2 gb with dropbox for free, then box.net and a few others handed out a free 5gb, then eventually one service - i forget the name - gave out 25 gb. Now Box (at box.com) is giving 50 gb of free storage space for free! I would act now, even if you don't need it now, it may be nice to have later. I am surprised that they can afford to give so much memory away. Where do they hook you at?

Box gives lotsa free storage but you have to pay for the desktop client. No Linux support. 100mb limit per upload. And ya gotta wonder how long they'll be around.
Fail.
Dropbox has free software, no file size limit and native Linux support. Financially sound, not going anywhere.
Sent from HTC G2

There was(and still is) a "hack" that allowed you to get 50GB for Android phones. I did it accidentally two times, and now I have 100GB's. It is kinda stupid to give 50GB for free, because that means, we have could have basically unlimited bandwidth, and it would cost thousands for that company.

Actually, you don't need the official box client for either windows or linux. You can simply use webdav and connect/mount as if it's a local drive.

Here's the full set of instructions for anyone who needs it.
For XP users:
1. Right click "My Computer"
2. Select "Map Network Drive"
3. Choose a Drive Letter
4. Type "\\www.box.net\dav" without the quotes
5. Box's server ping response time is kind of slow. Wait up to five minutes for the connection to establish.
6. Type your E-Mail for the username and your Password for password
Windows 7/Vista users:
1. Press the Start button
2. Right click Computer and hit "Map Network Drive"
3. Choose a Drive letter
4. Enter: "\\box.net\dav" without quotes in the folder box
5. Box's server ping response time is kind of slow. Wait up to five minutes for the connection to establish.
6. Username is your box email address
7. Password is your box password
EDIT: Be careful when doing this. Box's servers are VERY slow. Occasionally, they will lag so bad that Windows will time out several times on boot trying to connect it. If you boot up to a black screen with only a mouse cursor, reboot into safe mode, disconnect the drive, then reboot normally. I set the drive to connect on demand, since I don't use it for much. Dropbox and InSync are better services.

I have the Box app installed on chrome for free. It works just fine for me.

This should be handy I have DropBox as well I can use just use this to share files and saves etc without worrying about running out

This looks interesting and is really generous, but the link for the app is unavailable?
Edit: Scratch that It's just a bad link.. I got it lol.

I've tried out box, but I dislike the having to pay for a desktop client. I've made the switch to dropbox and enjoying that! The only way I would fill up 50gb is with music and video.

Got my 50gb, then switched back to DropBox after I realized it I wasn't able to transfer at more than ~17kbps with it. Explains why it took 2 days to upload my photo library (1.8gb) and DropBox had it within an hour.

I like box I got the 50gb free purely from owning an xperia phone
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

I took advantage of this just to get my music and pictures off of Dropbox and keep my storage size down there. Now I can get the 50gb plan instead of the 100, saving me $100/yr.

Anyone know why it needs to read your Contact info?

Probably just to share links or the app. If you're concerned then download LBE Privacy and deny it access. If you tell it to prompt when it tries to use your contacts then you'll find out when it needs it.

This app was brilliant

[APP] X-Link - Zero Setup File Transfer

The app I would like to present is called X-Link and is intended to make file transfers between devices (Android or PC) easy.
It's using multicasts to find other clients within the same WiFi network.
So no setup ist needed.
In addition to the Android app there is also a Java based PC client available.
This client has been tested on Linux and Windows but might work on other configurations.
The full description and a short video can be found on the Android Market page:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.fun2code.android.xlink
You can not only transfer files between PC and Android but also between Android devices.
This is beta software, so there are still bugs.
Please report them in this thread. I'll have a look as soon as I find time and will contact some of you to get things fixed.
There are surely some timing (and timeout) problems which need some attention.
Make sure your router supports multicasts.
Please post comments, I'll try to read them all
Link to PC client
http://www.fun2code.de/downloads/xlink/XLinkClient.jar
Copying of directories
Supported since 0.8.4 beta.
Testing and how you can help
Multicast test
To test if your network is able to deal with multicast messages you can do the following test:
1. Download the file MulticastSender.jar and MulticastReceiver.jar.
2. On one PC start the MulticastSender.jar and on another the MulticastReceiver.jar.
The sender sends screenshots. If you see the screenshots on the receiver's side, multicasts are working for you.
If not, X-Link will not work.
If this works but X-Link doesn't it's likely that there is a problem concerning timeouts within X-Link.
In this case, please send me a mail (xlink [at] fun2code.de).
If sharing on Android does not work
Sharing does not seem to be working in some apps.
If you encounter such a problem, please download the app XLinkDebug.apk and install it.
Use sharing as you normally would with X-Link but select X-Link Debug instead.
On execution the app will copy the information needed for me to fix the issue to the clipboard.
Please paste the clipboard into a mail ans send it to the following address: xlink [at] fun2code.de

Was your phone on a WiFi network?

obviously, yes it is

The devices have to be connected to the same WiFi network and the network has to support multicasts (which usually should be the case).
If you are on a weak WiFi signal it might take more than one try to find other devices.
My test devices are:
Galaxy Nexus, Nexus One and Notion Ink Adam

i really do not have knowledge about the Multicast thing, but my Wifi Signal is good. And i used SAMBA and other wifi file sharing apps and they all worked using the same wifi.
And clicked RELOAD many times but i cant see any device in the popdown menu..

Hm ... so this seems not to work on your network
Multicast is different from TCP connections, so this can't be compared.

Wow, it actually worked in HTC Desire!! Great app!! Now I can transfer files w/o any cables!! Need sometime to allow 2 devices to connect though..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I don't know anything about Multicast, but my Mac is on the same Wifi network as my Galaxy Nexus, and the Mac couldn't see the Nexus. I tried "Reload" several times.

Works on Windows 7 64-bit and a Galaxy Nexus. Cool app, really like it!
My only suggestions would either be to get rid of the menu and put it all in the "drag file here" area, or maybe some slightly simpler graphics. They come off a little cheesy.
Other than that, it works well.
Next steps would be to keep app closed, but still have access to dropping files. Root access? I'm not sure how it would work.

App and client work seamlessly with windows 7 and tmo sgsII.
Only thing I notice is inability to share pics directly from my phone's gallery. I use my file explorer and it works fine.
Amazing work. Coffee money on the way

So this is like airdroid but rather than the file browser/tools being built into the web address there's a desktop client?

Hello There,
Using Windows8, DHD and TF101. My PC had no problem seeing the items on my network Alas, every time I tried to swap a file over I just kept getting a pop message telling me there was an upload error. Thanks.
Pity because it was something I had been looking for :-(

Worked perfectly on Macbook running Lion and galaxy nexus
awesome app!

amazing app and super simple to use/set up, great stuff dude =D

Make sure you have x-link at the front of your screen (on your phone) seems it disappears after being inactive and you'll get the upload error problem. I am of course speaking from experience as I just fought with that, bringing x-link back to the front seemed to solve it.

Thanks to all of you for testing!
The X-Link app has to be active on the Android device to be visible to others and for the transfer to work.
If you close the app during data transfer, the transfer will break.
I'm glad that it worked for some of you. I'll do some debugging next week.
Hope things will improve...

For does of you having problems seeing other devices.
You can do the following test.
Run the PC client from console: java -jar XLinkClient.jar
Then try to detect you PC from the Android device.
You should see an output similar to this on the console:
Connecting: 192.168.0.198/4500
If an Exception occurs there was a problem when connecting back to the Android device.
If no output is visible, it's likely that multicasts are not working within your network.

Might help newer users who want to try out your app if you put a download link on your web site or here in this thread. I found your app through xda article and didn't realize that I had to type the link out verbatim with 'XLinkClient.jar' having correct capitalization lol. Took me a minute to figure out, so newer people might just give up without trying it. Just fyi ;-)
Great app, thanks for your work! Working on Mac running Lion and Droid 3.

Working great on Windows 8 Consumer preview and LG Optimus 2X. If i had a job right now, i would send you money for a beer, but i dont have a job at the moment, so a cant. Thanks.

[Q] S-tablet 3.0

Recently a new application that allows you to use the Galaxy note 10.1 as a Wacom digitizer was released in the Play Store, the application name is S-tablet 3.0.On this site you can find more information and a link to download the application:
h t t p://s t a b le t . c o .k r/ (remove the spaces)
According to the site will have to install the application on your note 10.1 and after installing a dock expression on your PC in order to use the application.The application allows us to establish a connection with the PC and can control it from our device, although the application is focused on the use of Photoshop because it can detect the level of pressure in addition to the display of our 10.1 Notice will see shortcuts Photoshop tools.My problem is that after making the instructions on the website of the application, I can not make the application work and establesca communication with my PC, so I invite you to test the application and see if it works and if someone achieves haer the application to work, post in the forum or instructions steps you took to achieve it.
Bellow is te Play Store link of the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ.."]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssm.spen10&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnNzbS5zcGVuMTAiXQ..

I'm able to establish a connection(it says 'wireless connected') between tablet and PC but there is no movement of the cursor or mouse. The website is in Korean and I can't understand anything. Right now it's unusable.

The download links doesn't work either. Both on play or your website. Not on play because it seems it isn't available for my device. But other 10.1 apps are.

Arrrgh
I reaaaally wanna see this working.
I too have installed it. It gives me an error as soon as I hit connect after typing in the ip address displays on the S-tablet desktop app.
Out of curiosity did either of you guys notice a little off screen tab that displays a pop in icon of a kind of brush stroked S, as well as the regular interface? I almost missed it but it seemingly has no function.
It's be really good to have a usable version of this though I'm sure you'll agree.

When you say you have tried it could you tell what operating system you tried it with?

OS....
I used it on Vista OS.

Looks like the dev updated the site last week.
The s-tablet pc program isn't fully working on 64bit windows. Looks like they're trying to create a java based app to overcome this issue.
