hello whats the best way to wirelessly transfer files from pc to android ? what are ur recommendations :)

Dropbox & Wuala are good for syncing and transferring files from your PC to your phone anywhere with an internet connection.

I transfer other files over Wi-Fi from Windows PC's with ES File Explorer.

I'm using SwiFTP, simply perfect with FileZilla FTP Client on PC.

Definitely Dropbox is essential for transfer and sync from anywhere with Internet connection.

Also SwiFtp is good, use Filzilla on the PC.

FTP is a fast file transfer protocol, and well proven. My God. Captn Spec was there ahead of me... great minds??? :-D :-D ;-)

If I'm doing the transfer there and then I use Samba filesharing. Makes the Blade appear as a network share on the PC. Market link

If I think I might need the file later or I just don't have the phone to hand then Dropbox is unbeatable. Market link

[Guest julianpaul]

+1 for samba. see this guide for more details Accessing files over WiFi without a Router

[Guest Cyclothunder]

+1 for Samba!

Habe been using it since got my blade and it rocks. Couldn't be more simple :)

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

For linux users you can use Ssh :)

You even don't need to have the files in the blade.

A great tool for this is padersync ssh (30 days trial in market)

[Guest DokuP]

I am happy with Dropbox and MyPhoneExplorer for local Transfers!!

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

In the same way you have asus webstorage

I use it because people who have bought an asus computer get 500 gigs of storage

People who don't own an asus product get 2 gigs.

[Guest Schwinni]

At home, I use Ghost Commander with the SMB plugin.

[Guest Chocolate Columbo]

I use AndFTP in conjunction with FileZilla. I tried many others but I always went back to AndFTP. I don't find Dropbox practical at all since I was always uploading files to a server for later rather than just uploading/downloading anything on my system whenever I like.

I hadn't really found a great solution to streaming. I was using TVersity and have since been testing to Plex.

I've only just discovered this. It's fantastic! I can't believe I spent the past 9 months plugging in a USB cable to share files.

About 10 minutes before discovering this, I discovered SwiFTP which is also awesome. But Windows file sharing is just better. :)
