Ratings and reviews

I've tried so many different methods of adding music and audiobook files to my phone and this app is the only one that is reliable and easy to use. I don't normally bother leaving reviews - apps should just work, right? - so this is a rare exception for me: I wholeheartedly endorse Wifi File Transfer Pro and urge you to give it a try. (I had to dive into Chrome's settings to enable Flash to get the file selection section to work properly - no big deal but might help someone else.)

Okay, so the interface is okay but you can only download individual files or the entire folder. There's no option to do a drag to highlight lots of files. Also, it sometimes doesn't download files if you select a lot of them. It's good for downloading some files if that's what you're after. I ended up using another app which just provides an FTP server and it was free too.

I have been using this app for many months now and find it to be reliable and very handy for transferring the odd file here and there. Because it works via the browser on you PC it is very easy to use. The app tells you what you need to enter onto the browser URL and away you go, your files appear in a very handy File Manager type window on your browser. You can select multiple files or folders and its very quick and easy to use. I purchased the paid version which was very cheap and worth it because it allows you to transfer files larger than, I think, 5mb is the limit on the free version. If you're looking for a handy file transfer app, I would thoroughly recommend this one.
