Its the best app to transfer files using WIFi between two smartphones which i found in playstore
****WiFiShare brings WiFi-Direct like functionality on lower version of Android, it also enables to send large size files to multiple people at a time****
WiFiShare is an innovative mobile app which enables adhoc file transfer between two or more android phones. It uses wireless hotspot technology provied by today's phones to do file transfer and does not depend on any intermediary infrastructure. Using WiFiShare, files are transferred in few steps with a transfer speed of 1.5-2.5 MBps. We have built two different apps to cover nearly all Android based phones.
1. WiFiShare (works on all devices beyond Android 2.3)
2. WiFiShare Client (Works on devices from Android 1.6)
Htc pico
Its dierctly from one phone to another or an intermidiate wifi required?
ya it helps to transfer directly from phone to phone , the sender must switch on wifi tethering and the receiver must connect to the senders tethered network

What is the easiest way to wirelessly transfer files between Android & iOS devices? I've read some options with using bluetooth or FTP. I want something simple anyone could do. I haven't tried it yet, but Hoccer looks like the easiest option I've seen.
I want to transfer large files without wires or existing wifi network. I don't have wifi at home, and don't always want to use a laptop to move files through.
Something like Dropbox is a big waste of time and bandwidth in my case.
Also, anything better for android to android file transfer?
As the title states, just curious if there is a way to make wi-fi direct work between phone and PC or vice-versa. I know there are wi-fi file explorers, but for s single file or picture is there anything for that?
Im pretty sure your phone comes with an app pre-installed for this, but i use airdroid

WiFi direct is only for Samsung devices to other select Samsung devices. It doesn't work with my older Samsung TV, but does work with my friend's brand new Samsung TV. AFAIK, it does not work to connect to a PC.
The other on-device options suck out loud (Kies Air, AllShare Play, etc.). They all require additional software to be loaded on the PC and some are dependent on Samsung's server piece to be operational, which goes down like a $5 ***** faced with a stack of hundreds.
If you want to just 'see' the picture or movie on a PC / Laptop / TV, Settings > More Settings > Nearby Devices is tolerable. It's basically DLNA for the phone. ONLY ALLOW the devices on your LAN that you want to share media to. If you choose Allow All and forget to turn it off, it will share it publicly if you connect to WiFi at McDonald's, Starbucks, Library, etc. PCs show up as Windows-Media-Player, and other devices will be SamsungWiselinkPro or SamsungSmarTV, etc.
I'd recommend to use either Airdroid or WiFi File Explorer and save yourself a LOT of headaches to transfer the files to a PC.

Yeah I have had Wifi File Explorer Pro for a good two years and love it, I was just wondering if there was a better option. Based on the responses above I think I will just stick with what I've got!
If you want to transfer files, Kies Air is actually one of the best choices. It's definitely underrated, probably because of the complicated install process, but once you get the hang of it, it's a very streamlined process.
Most file manager apps support Windows shares, so you can transfer stuff that way too. I use AirDroid though mostly. Heck, you can get an FTP app on your Droid and FTP into it from Windows if you like, make sure you change your IP address in Wifi advanced settings to the one you want to use all the time, and map a network drive in Windows to your phone.
why not an FTP server?
search for the "ftp server" from developer "the olive tree" first of all it's super secure since you can add username and password to it (from the settings) so it's safe even at public wifi hotspots and second It's got 4+ stars! COMMON! lol and the 3rd and the best part (I know you were waiting for this ) It's free
you can copy to/from your phone to/from your computer! just open the app and click on the red power button when it turns green you're good to go it gives you an address you need to type that in your explorer (my documents or my computer would be perfect) and your phone's content is there just be careful not to delete anything you don't know
use at your own risk LMAO and I'm not paid to promote it
Air droid is good, but theres a monthly limit. For small amounts of data (I think it's 100MB per month) it's perfect.

Hello
I've been thinking of making my android phone operate like a stand-alone operating system; i.e. which does not require direct input from the user but can receive input through internet.
I've been trying to setup an architecture in which I place an android phone in my home connected to my wifi, it has uTorrent Beta and some file syncing service (like dropbox, google drive, skydrive, etc.) What I'm trying to accomplish is to operate my phone from my laptop sitting at my office, send a torrent file to my phone lying at home, it picks up the file in uTorrent (or any other torrent client), downloads the file, and later uploads to dropbox or other file syncing service, and after uploading it removes the file from phone.
Can something like this be performed on android? it involves two main obstacles... remote controlling the android via internet, and operating two / three separate apps on android. Is there a better way to do this?

?? no way sir. Wouldnt it be too obvious for any person seeing multiple apps running around on his cell phone?
My office has real bad ass firewalls all around its network. But it allows dropbox or teamviewer etc apps. I used to have a windows computer for this work of mine. I used an Acer Aspire ZG. So whenever I have something to download on torrent I connect to my laptop at home via teamviewer, download the file and then put it up on dropbox again, so i can download it at my office. My work makes me travel a lot to different cities so im not always at my home, thats why i need something like this.
But alas my aspire got burnt in the power spike in my area. I have my old samsung galaxy S android phone as a spare. I see apps like dropbox and utorrent are now available for android. So i thought would a similar server setup be possible on android.
So can you give me any ideas or workarounds?
Guys,
Here the search of WIFI Direct Ends. How..?? By this Tremendous APK called Fast File Transfer
Fast File Transfer is an alternative for Bluetooth file sending.
The app uses Wi-Fi Tethering for establishing a connection between the devices but does not need the Internet.
Due to its high speed, this technology is especially recommended for sending big files. My transfer speed is around Max 15Mbps(approx).
It is compatible with all devices & all Android Version[tested over Note 1, Note 2, MMX A110, Xperia Neo V & our Galaxy R with GB to JB / CM10.1 Android Versions]
Click here for download from Play Store -> Download
How does it work..??
Just install the APK & turn it on.
Enter User ID (as per you wish else it will provide by itself) & then choose 8 Digit Password.
Now select the any files using file explorer->choose send -> touch over "Fast file Transfer"
It will initialized the process
Now, jst ask 2nd party(who actually need the file) to turn on the WIFI & pair it with your WIFI hotspot connection.
It will give you IP address(Dont worry it will not charge to your internet connection)-> put the same in 2nd party's internet browser & tap enter.
Wollhaaaaa..you can have the File with max transfer speed

siwy_hct - for reminding us the same - Thanks should be given to him.
You guys can also try kies air (for those on stock rom), ipmsg, airdroid, wifi file transfer.
All these apps require a portable hotspot option in one phone and a browser in the other device in which you wish to transfer the files to
From my CM10.1 powered galaxy R
Kies air works on cm also. I tried today. But problem is it detects only /mnt/sdcard and not /mnt/emmc. Weird. On stock rom, as we know external sd was mounted as /sdcard/external-sd so it was detectable.
About the wifi direct, a lot of such apps dont use wifi direct as they work on most devices.
Google just provides preliminary support for wifi direct in os, as adam told, and the APIs and samsung actually made an app out of it, though it looks like hooked up to touchwiz.
There are apps that actually use wifi direct and not need a hotspot. I just saw one named wifi shoot but its paid, there's a free version but it just sends photos and videos. I think there should be other such apps.

Hi guys,
I'd like to find a free and clean (no bloatware no invasive ads) app to use wifi direct with other phones or pc.
I'm using airdroid now with my pc, but I don't understand if it use wifi direct or not, and the fact that I have to login and register is not a good thing when you have to send files to another friend's phone on-the-go (and believe me, I have to teach every single person I know that you cound't send hi res pics with whatsapp -.-).
So I write a list of app that I know (or I think I know) use wifi direct:
dukto (seems pretty popular but the last update is on 2014)
feem
threbleshot
airdroid (seems good but too feature rich if you have just to easy send a file)
mixplorer (here on xda)
Fast File Transfer
these seems the option that are less bloat and no chinese (with weird ads or man-in-the-middle things)
So: what app do you use for easy sending files through wifi direct with other phones and maybe pc?
EDIT: someone on the net advice app for file explorer like solid or es with ftp plugin but I don't think are "easy" for most people.
SuperBeam is also a good alternative
Maybe you can also include SuperBeam in the list.
It has no bloatware and has multi platform support (including an installable and a portable version for PCs as well). In its settings, you there is a setting to transfer either by hotspot or by WiFi direct.
The free version has some (not-annoying) ads to support the developer and few limitations on transferring files.
Mi drop full clean try it
No ads , nothing else
