Web PC Suite - File Transfer by GeekSoft - Android Featured App 

Web PC Suite - File Transfer - Android Featured App.  Anyone who uses his Android (or even Apple!) smartphone for anything more than just making calls will come, sooner or later, to the problem of transferring files between a desktop computer and his or her smartphone. That's universal. Whatever you do, work, or play, you'll need to transfer files.

We may need to transfer files for work purposes. We may want to download our music library to our new and shiny smartphone. We may need to transfer our photos from our last trip to Nevada Falls or from the last visit with the grand kids. We may need to transfer videos we made on the smartphone for the desktop to prepare them for editing. We may need to transfer a great pic we found to the smartphone to serve as homescreen wallpaper.

So, what are our options? None of them are really good, as matter of fact. The simplest is to plug in a USB cable and connect the PC to the smartphone through it. The drawback is we don't always have the cable with us and anyway, it is a clumsy solution that makes the smartphone's operating system to unmount the internal smartphone storage anyway. We can use email to send files back and forth but this solution is even more clumsy and not practical with large files. We can also use cloud storage as an intermediary but this solution is also clumsy and may be expensive in terms of our data package. 

We would like to introduce a solution from GeekSoft called Web PC Suite which was made just to solve this problem, of connecting PCs to smartphones.

What exactly does Web PC Suite do? Quite simply, Web PC Suite sets up a connection through WiFi between the desktop in question and the smartphone. Then, the app lets you organize and transfer files of any size between the desktop and the mobile device, if they both reside on the same WiFi network. Web PC Suite has a lot of nifty features and one of them is working with any kind of desktop with any kind of operating system, simply and easily, just because Web PC Suite does not need any kind of installment on the desktop side. The desktop just has to browse to a given address with its browser and then through the web interface, Web PC Suite works its charm.

Well, what features does Web PC Suite have that make it special? We already mentioned the way the desktop that connects to the mobile does not need any software install and everything is done through a web interface. In addition, the files transferred and the connection itself are encrypted, so there's no problem sending your files through the air on WiFi. Because of the web interface, Web PC Suite can work with any kind of desktop, be it Windows, Apple or the various brands of Linux.

In addition to this app providing a full file manager functionality in which the user can freely browse, organize and move his files, Web PC Suite does not have any file size limitation, a fairly common problem when wanting to upload a video file from your mobile to your desktop. 

This app's interface has been carefully designed to provide everything that is needed in a file manager and transfer utility. Media files can be directly consumed through the web interface and text files can be easily read. Features such as multiple select, drag and drop and everything else we need is provided right there by Web PC Suite.

Web PC Suite gives a complete solution to the problem of synchronizing files between a mobile device and a desktop through the WiFi network. This is one of the apps we love, because it is designed to solve every facet of the problem of file transfer and to make life easier for the users.

Android App Review - ES File Explorer File Manager by ES APP Group

Android App Review - ES File Explorer File Manager by ES APP Group 

ES File Explorer File Manager by ES APP Group. This app is an amazingly comprehensive file manager combined with task manager, combined with cloud storage manager, file player for movies and music and can work by remote through Wifi. Truly one of the best file managers we tested, this is one app that our testers really loved. 

With this app, you get almost every tool, management and remote service you will ever need. This is really a must have app that solves the sometimes tricky file management on Android devices, especially the transfer of files to and from your home PC.

One of the best things is the tons of features ES File Explore File Manager provide. Our testers liked in particular the search function, a really useful feature that allows finding of files hidden away by the Android operating system in some remote folders.

Most testers also lauded the cloud and pc files syncing options, complete with a simple menu, this app makes those pesky Android file transfer issues a thing of the past. Of course, since it's got Dropbox, Google Drive and other cloud storage services installed, you don't really have to have them installed as well, saving a lot of room on your smartphone's ram.

Of course, our testers reported some issues, like some of the menus refusing to appear on landscape mode on 7" tablets, some of the file transfers to cloud services being interrupted, especially when the smartphone locks down and we would have liked an option to be able to play music while still continuing to browse files. There were also some complaints of force closure with the new update when trying to see file details.

All in all, the issues are really small and the overwhelming opinion of our testers was that this is one of the best, if not the best file manager they ever worked with.

• Score: A very warm 5 out of 5. One of the most comprehensive file managers on Google Play.
• Description: A file explorer and file manager with extensive features such as remote file transfer to PCs, cloud services and media playing services. One of the best file explorer and file managers on Google Play.
• Good Points: Tons of options - from cloud services to remote file transfer to simple UI for local file manger and explorer.
• Bad Points: Some small problems of stability with the latest update and a very few of out testers encountered some problems in transferring files to and from cloud services.
• Experience: Since installing this app, the vast majority of our testers enjoyed working with ES File Explorer File Manager that most of them turned it into their main file manager for Android and removed their cloud services apps since this app provides everything that is needed.
• Longevity: Excellent. Almost none of our testers reported he or she will uninstall it ever after the reviewing period was over.
