I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.
I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free
Dropbox!
i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.
Websharing is the one for me
LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done

Is their a way to grab files from your computer on your phone wirelessly?
I would also be interested in a solution for this on a linux machine.
Vincent.apk available in market lets you wirelessly sync to a samba share. Since it is samba, no third party server is needed. Just share the folder in windows or create samba share in linux.
also ES File explorer lets you browse shares in your network. good for getting single files.
Try this app

works brilliantly.. A must buy
DLNA will only allow me to stream video/music, and what if I want to transfer all types of files?...
Thanks in advance.
Astro file manager + SMB extension (which is free)
You can find both in the market.
With the SMB extension you can access fileshares on your windows pc.
Hi,
You can use also ESFile Explorer to do that

Thanks a lot, guys! great stuff!
Is there a faster way to transfer files? I downloaded the infamous Kies but that didn't even run after being installed on my PC. When connected it shows up as a tablet and takes EXTREMELY LONG TIME to transfer any to almost all kinds of data. Is there a work around on this?

WiFi is the fastest, I there are a few apps that will handle both paid and free. Also dropbox is excellent for copying files too and from. And you can use the comp. Or es file explorer for ftp and shared devices as well.

You should try AirDroid, work really well. Install app on device and client on pc.

Anyone know the app that can transfer file between phone and laptop without using usb cable???
Bluetooth
Should be possible via Bluetooth..
As Software you can use MyPhoneExplorer
AirDroid, KiesAir, WiFi File Transfer, WifiDroid, ES File Explorer etc :good:
ADB wireless :good:
Copy.com cloud storage works flawlessly for me.
Google Drive is another option. Or just email them to yourself.

I think AirDroid is cool
basically i want to browse my sdcard internal folder using my windows 8 pc using SMB networking shares
it might be a lollipop issue?
i have samba file sharing working perfectly using nexus 7 fhd on android 4..3
has anyone gotten this to work? i can't seem to get it working, my PC can see the network share of the nexus6 but it won't allow me to view into the folders
i tried SAMBA file sharing and servers ultimate pro apps

Hmmm. From KitKat onwards, only the app that is used for mounting can see the contents. Not sure you'll get this working without a dirty-hijack of debuggerd - which you'll need to be pretty good at bash shell scripting to do.

This works on mine OK using the SMB app you linked to. I had to fool around with user id, password, and workgroup name in the app settings to make it work.
