Hi All,
I have a wifi connection which can be connected to both pc and mobile. I need a great app for file transfer between my cell and pc without using data cable. ie using wifi. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Arun
I'm not sure about phone to pc, but for pc to phone, there's Awesome Drop. Not sure if that helps or not, sorry if it didn't.

Awesome Drop uses their servers and therefore requires a full internet connection. The OP is looking for an app like Airdroid which operates directly over your Wi-Fi and therefore needs no internet connection (plus it can do a lot more than file transfers).
If you search it for Android, maybe try Airdroid? It allows you upload or download files to/from your phone.
Thanks to it you can also write SMS using your computer and sent it from mobile

I use Kies for this purpose but i think its only for samsung phones or i get wrong ? You can try search it at google play.

samba file sharing
free n simple to use
I agree with math.NUR.
Just set up SMB/CIFS file sharing on your PC and access it via a file manager that supports it like the ES File Explorer File Manager.
I vote dropbox.

True I upload to drop box all the time then download to other devices or my laptop etc

ive done everything but when i typed adb devices my device does not show...i even connect it to pc,use automount but still the same
I would recommend Webkey, very feature rich and easy to use. It may not be fast but it gets the job done.

Ok I saw this option in the android system menu to turn on wifi direct, but I couldn't find anything further than that. How do I actually transfer files thorugh wifi direct??
Update:: MEthod for wifi file transfer from one phone to another.
Youu'll need ES file explorer on one phone and Swiftp on another
1. Toggle Wifi tethering on, on the device from which you will ransfer files.
2. Now connect the other device to this AP created by the tether.
3.Now on the same device(the one connected to the AP)start Esfile explorer and got to the ftp tab
4. Go to settings>scan. Es file explorer should now automatically find the other phone,
Just wanted to bump this thread....seems like no one's interested but I think wifi direct is awesome! and i know our phones are capable just that the right software is needed.

Many people are interested post have been viewed 212 times but no one is able to answer
well i got my mac address recognized in a sgsII, but nothing more than that :/
Not exactly what you want, but for transfering files by wifi i use the App SwiFTP. It's for free in the market (i can't post URL's cause i'm noob).
I hope this helps you ...
Air Droid is also amazing! It's free, and there is no windows installation required. You just run it on your phone. It gives you a web address and a password to enter on the website. Then you have access to your whole phone!

Yes to Airdroid. Best sharing program and with web interface.

original thread updated with sort of a solution..
Hey guys, Can anyone recommend me a good app to transfer stuff from my PC to my Note wirelessly?
Ive been using Air Droid, which is good but requires me to be at my computer which kinda defeats the purpose.
Sometimes with big files like ROMs I download them from my PC, but would like a quick way to transfer them to my phone without the USB lead.
I would like an app that allows me to just connect to my pc and allow me to browse all the files on my PC and select several at once to send them to my Note.
What apps can you recommend ? Preferably free.
Thanks
A-D
you can try webkey https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey
If you have a samba/cifs share on your computer you can use ES explorer
TotalCmd connects to almost anything

On your computer, make a share for each drive you want to access from your phone. Make sure you have a password on your windows account or it 'generally' doesn't work with Windows 7.
I even VPN to home from anywhere in the world and I can access all my files...free, all in house. For my VPN server I just use a WRT54G with DDWRT [old school].
File expert. Easy and great!

and then get andftp on your phone... simple and works.

+1 on this suggestion although I use port forwarding in my router to my windows 7 machine with VPN activated.

Is there a simple way to share files via Wifi? In similar way to sharing through Bluetooth, or as similar as possible.
It's just that my device doesn't have bluetooth and I need the ability to share files swiftly with others.
airdroid.
works well if a bit slow.

That doesn't seem like what I'm looking for. I want a simple way to send files between two Android devices using Wifi, just like one would do using Bluetooth.
Perhaps add a "send via wifi" option.
WiFi Transfer
Give this a try:
WiFi File Transfer

I keep seeing "Web interface" in it. Does this require the other end to use a browser?
I think on Galaxy phones, when you click share, you'll see Bluetooth and Text messages and Email along with Share Via Wifi. Is there an app that does that?
I have rooted GN2 and a slow 2g internet connection on carrier network....... So i am using reverse teether technique and i am getting near about 1mbps speed from my 3g internet connection on pc but i am not able to install games data like brother in arms 2 becoz the gameloft hasn't upload whole data at play store.......they have just uploaded the apk file but when i try to download the data opening apk file it says no connection in carrier network how can i download this?

Well I would think the easiest way for you to download that data is to connect to WiFi. Either your own or maybe at like a Starbucks or McDonalds. It's usually pretty easy to find a hotspot.
Otherwise there is this old method that lets you download the data from a computer. I'm not sure if it works anymore though.
