Is there a program to enable transferring files from PC to defy such as Windows Mobile Device Center does it with WM devices.
there are several way
1. the official way, if you connect your phone and pc with usb cable, there will be a web interface appeared. you can operate your phone by means of it. only IE support file transfer.
2. wifi. you can install a software such as ipmsg to transfer file. some software can share file, such as afile and so on.
3. bluetooth. you should install a software named bluetooth file transfer and enable obex file transfer service, then you can transfer files.
maybe there is more way to transfer file, I am searching.
Media link available on motorola.
Dropbox (wireless)
Or awesome drop. (Wireless)

The official way (Phone Portal) works via wifi too. No need for USB.
I really like the official usb-media function.

DLNA? Been using it to pull files off my computer, my son's and my Buffalo Link Station.
Thanks very much for your replies, I am now able to transfer files to Defy.

is there no build-in, easy peasy was to use BT for file transfer without installing a software like "bluetooth file transfer"? why is my phone telling me that a device is paired but "not connected" or how can I "connect"?
motorola's encrypted bootload is a bit annoying, but its retarded handling of USB connections is simply unacceptable. adding the apparent "difficulties" with bluetooth connections makes me wonder if I will ever buy a motorola device again ...

Anyone know how I would go about mounting my EVO's sdcard on a pc wirelessly? Thanks.
bluetooth?
lol, yes that is a question
Bluetooth File Transfer from the Market works well for me, although obviously your PC has to have Bluetooth as well. I bought a cheap Bluetooth dongle for my laptop.

I just use dropbox. drop the file you want on your dropbox folder then go to your phone, find that then download it and your good
Drop box is a necessity that or sugar sync basically same thing. I use it for all my side loaded apps so they are always ready when I flash a new rom.

why not use a2sd? (apps 2 sd)
Ive tried most of the solutions mentioned. I'm particularly looking to be able to access my EVOs sdcard either through a mounted drive or windows share wirelessly. Its important I can access it in this fashion because I work on computers all day and would like to be able to carry my drivers collection around with me. Its nice to be able to just point a machine to a drive share load the appropriate drivers. FTP, Dropbox and WebDAV solutions just to make this process efficient for me.
EStrongs File Browser is nice how it can browse PCs on the same subnet but I would like to do the same except browse my phones storage from the PC side via a share.
If you used something like dropbox you wouldn't need to use your phone at all just load up your dropbox with all of them and then just log on to the dropbox website on the computer you need the drivers.
I would think that anything that would make so you could wirelessly push files from your evo to a computer, would require a program or driver installed or a Bluetooth dongle, and that would take most of the point of away
you can always just carry around a usb cable and do it that way.
do a bluetooth file transfer, that usually works for me
try android desktop it is a small websserver on your phone it allows you to access your phone through the pc web browser. free from ao store. Blue tooth is fairly slow on large files. with the desktop you should be able to use the wifi or 3 g.
I had it in my Nokia, so simple.
Is there a way to open and transfer the files at my DHD through my PC via Bluetooth?
I hate this cables that I need to plug in just to transfer 3MBs..
I want to make this "Removable Disk [E]" but via Bluetooth connection,
not sending file like (right click > share > bluetooth, and then it sends to my phone)
I want a full access, opening my DCIM folder, deleting files, and renaming..
Is there a software or app to make it?
I could do it very easily with my old N95 with its software "Nokia PC-Suite",
I could just enter the software (through keyboard shortcut that I made), and few seconds later, by no touching, no connecting any cable, it would open my phone's folder.
I miss that easy life
How can I do it here too?
Thanks,
Yarden.
There is similar apps called Wifi Explorer Pro...as it name states, it uses wifi though...if it suits you, it can explore, download or upload any files from and to your desire hd...using wifi...much faster than using bluetooth though...i hope it helps you

Use MyPhoneExplorer and wifi. It's what I do to sync contacts, calendar and files.

First of all thank you for your replies.
But both apps aren't really what I'm looking for,
I'll explain my self again,
I want a pc software (not necessarily) that when I open it, it searches via bluetooth (or as new as you teached me, via WiFi), for my phone and open its files, like it would do if I plugged the USB cable.
That it gives me a new drive (C,D,E,F...) with all the mobile contents (folders, music, pictures ..etc)
I use web sharing it gives me full access to my sd card.

Ok, I know I'm not crazy, but is there ANY way, besides Bluetooth, to transfer large files between the LGOG and another Phone?
I've tried the LGOG's FileShare app but it refuses to recognize my GS3 even after they both connect via Wi-Fi Direct. And just using plain ol' Wi-Fi Direct doesn't even come up as a sharing option on this phone. I can't use NFC obviously because it's only intended for small files and links. I've already tried bluetooth, but I have another thread floating around this forum detailing my experience with my LGOG being unable to connect to ANY other phone after it powercycled when connected to a friend's GS3. (On a side note, it did it AGAIN when I was connected to my bluetooth speaker today)
This is the only thing that freaking bugs the hell out of me about this device. The lack of options to wirelessly share files between devices. Obviously my bluetooth is most likely defective. Waiting on a custom OS to see if that will resolve my BT issues. But come on, this is ridiculous.
EDIT:
Oh, and the SmartShare app limits you to only Pictures, Video, and Music!
You could always connect both phones to a PC and put them in MTP mode (not charge mode) and the PC will recognize them both as a media player, allowing you to browse the entire file system. Then just copy the file from one phone to the other using PC.
Can't WiFi direct be used? I know you tried it but maybe your doing something wrong. Sadly I've never messed with it

Well, I have a GS3 also. On that phone, whenever you long press on a file/app and click "Share", Wi-Fi Direct comes up as one of the options to use as a file transfer medium. All you have to do is clock wifi direct and click the device and BOOM! The file starts sending. However, on the LGOG, it's not that simple for some odd reason. I can turn on wifi direct on both phones AND link them. But if i wanna send a file from my LGOG to another wifi direct device, it doesn't come up as a share option. You can open up Smartshare and use the LGOG like a DLNA server and play/upload music, movies, and pictures from the LGOG to the other wifi direct device. But Smartshare (unless i'm using it wrong) only limits you to those three options. What if I want to transfer an 850MB .zip or .iso file???
You could try "samba file sharing" on the market. Phone should show as a samba share on your windows network. Then you can use es file explorer, LAN, access the share. Have not tried, but this should enable wireless file sharing.

Haha, so funny that you mentioned that app. I did an intense search and ended up stumbling on Samba Fileshare a few hours after my last post. Has a tendency to force close every now and then but it works pretty good.

OK....I have this problem I can't seem to figure out. I have the media hub. I have tried to connect internet 'through' then hub. It will NOT connect to my home WiFi, using my asus tf300t and nexus 7 2013. The hub will reboot (I have tried everything and followed directions to a T) It will not connect. The 3rd light doesnt come on (no internet).
I've tried it also with my note 2....to connect WiFi......it won't do it.
Here's the kicker......I turn on my hotspot via my note 2 and do the directions again to the T.....and I have internet connect into my hotspot!!!!!!! ( tried on both tablets).....WHAT GIVES..... I am completely not knowing why....
(I have not tried a different WiFi source yet) like my work or some other WiFi.....could it be that I simply can't with my home WiFi?
This is very disheartening.

Another explorer?
amazing devices indeed, and nice review that answers a lot... still I have two inquiries
is it possible to access the devise using another file explorer like the "ES file explorer" on android?
is it possible to connect the device to my home wifi network like all of my devices, and then access the device trough my home network like a network disk drive? i.e without connecting to the sandisk wifi network directly
thanx in advance

Sorry to disappoint when you see a response....but those questions I have aswell....and hopefully someone(s) will have answers
The drive is accessible through it's own App/explorer which you need to install, not outside file explorers. It can be connected to your wireless router at home and setup to be as a path-through router, but the files are only visible when you install Sandisk app with it's file explorer. In theory, it's a media streaming devices for your phones and tablets, and to enable that you need to install their app.
Sandisk wireless drive USB connect with ES file explorer
ES file explorer has full access to the Sandisk connect wireless wifi USB drive.. It is simple. Use newest firmware:
(unable to paste as link) kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12876/~/sandisk-connect-wireless-flash-drive-support-information
I use a Nexus7 2012 running Lollipop factory unrooted.
Upload, download, multiple files, etc . No restrictions as in sandisk app. Only problem I have noticed are screwed photo thumpnails.
- connect to drive wifi
- open sandisk app / connect drive / goto settings
- copy web URL (e.g. 175.xx.xx.xx/wdf)
-Open ES file explorer newest release, goto Network / network
- tap + for new server
- add new "webdav " server. Paste copied URL. Standard port 80
- When on a shared network you have to supply the standard user name "owner" and your password
- thats it!
Enjoy!!!

Please forgive me, but does that mean OTHER apps can store files directly to the device without interaction with the Sandisk s/w?
I want to record video in clips of 2 or 3 minutes in a non stop loop, but I have Nexus 5 with 16 GB, so that's not enough by a long shot, and the phone needs to be powered by external source, so USB HOST storage solution is out of the question.
Please let me know, thanks.

Hello guys. So I am trying to connect my A70 to my iMac. I use Android File Transfer. It worked with my old S5.
So because A70 uses the type C usb cable end to end, I have to use a type C to to type A generic adaptor and a type A generic cable end to end to connect to my iMac. My 2012 Imac does not have usb 3.0. I already did the usb debugging and usb config on developer's option, rebooted the phone, still Android File Transfer does not detect A70. It only charges the phone.
Appreciate any help/response. Thanks!
Set up a wifi transfer?
Download an app on your phone that sets up an ftp:// type of link.
And then on your apple create a new network location with that ftp:// that the app created. Then from your apple computer, you can browse through your phones files and folders and you'll be able to copy things from or unto your phone's folders. Presuming your computer and your phone are both connected to the same wifi server. (Eg, your home's wifi.)
One app that I have on my A70 is the Wifi File Transfer app by "Villacat", although many identical apps exist too. This is just the one that I happened to find.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.file.transfer&hl=en_US
There are file transfer apps that make use of a paid http:// sort of webpage location too. But those are ripoffs. You have to pay for the bandwidth or storage. Or pay to transfer files that are larger than a few MB's.
Thank you so much! I'll try this, while I'm waiting for an original samsung cable c to a for android file transfer, and will
see if an original cable will work.

The absolute easiest way to transfer files from an android phone to a computer is to install the app File Commander. It has built-in pc transfer and all you have to do is open your browser on your pc with the ip adress from the app. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, best solution I have found without the hassle of using USB cables.
Es file explorer and enter shares in your computer with it, i used this method for years
Also consider otg cable, i have one worked perfectly to write to flash drived then to computer
