How To Share Files with Your Android Device, Without Wires

Using a USB cable to move files between your Android device and your computer is … well, it’s so early 2000s, isn’t it? With wifi, if not ubiquitous, then widespread, there’s no reason why you should need to plug your device into your computer to do anything.

You can download and install Dooblou Wifi File Explorer from the Android Market. There are two version: free, and Pro which costs just under $2 (USD). Using the free version, you can’t download, copy, or delete files. This article will look at the Pro version.
