This may be useful for you. Gionee phones come with an application called goinee xender. I cant say its the best but transfers file at a very decent speed in mbps. If some one in your friend circle has a gionee phone you can get it from him/her.

so back to airdroid

Using Software Data Cable from more than year (1 year and 5 months to be precise), BEST app for file transfer IMO. Gives 5-8MBps transfer speed.

lots of additional features and polished UI
Supports sending file to multiple devices at the same time
I can create my own cloud storage on my desktop and content gets synced daily. e.g. Whatever files I've received today will be first uploaded to my personal cloud on desktop and then gets deleted from phone automatically Magic!
PRO version is actually FREE and adfree
No need to authenticate or scan barcodes all the time.

50Mbps = 6.25MBps

Try Software data cable. Today I was transferring total of 5.5GB from Nexus 5 to Moto G at 8MBps which is around 64Mbps.

For transfer between phones, i use ES File explorer. I get 5MBps for transfer between new phones (like my N4 & Moto G)

how to use ES for wifi transfer between phone?

P

'ShareIt' is good can transfer between phones and also can be used to transfer data from laptops

Both phones need ES. In ES, go to Options>>Tools>> Net Manager
One phone should create the hotspot & other one should connect it. Select the file & then Send

+1 to ES

S

Go for superbeam it is better than es with more than 25mbps speed of file transfer it is a WiFi direct app

Use airdroid. Fast, simple.

P

Well, if you have tried looking over to the PlayStore I am sure you may have found a number of app that allows sharing of files over the wifi network anyway I would say why don't you try using SuperBeam app available over the PlayStore for sharing files over wifi network. One more thing I have got another great idea to, why are you looking for an app to do that for you I am sure your device will have the wifi direct feature just use that to share file wirelessly this is what the file sharing external apps do !

S

Try superbeam or share it both are WiFi direct apps and are suprb

how people are getting >5Mbps speed in Software DataCable?
I get only 1MBps speed

P

Xender, Share and transfer files

A

share it

so back to airdroid

For computer to android or vice versa.. on same wifi network... use Airdroid... best app...
Or try some advance app like Pushbullet...

Added a poll. It's Multiple Choice poll and is public.

Let's see what app is used the most, or is most popular. Personally I use ShareIt, but some times it doesn't work, so looking for alternatives.

sure airdroid will win

U

Super beam is the app of choice among our group, but sometimes we use es file explorer too

U

Off topic can anybody tell me the max speeds superbeam can achieve with both phones having Wi-Fi ac?

P

Well, over here I am going to suggest you moving forward in get Airdroid, as I have personally used it a number of times to transfer my data in and out from my Android device to my laptop ! Also I would like to add it would be much better if you are transferring data over the same network because you need to buy a subscription if you want to transfer more than 100mb of data in a day! But anyway way I am sure you are trying to do that over your smartphone then that isn't something you need to worry much about !

In superbeam you cannot transfer a installed app from android to android. Unless you have apk file stored.
But in software data cable you can.
So +1 to software data cable

Anybody tried ShareIt ? how is it ?

I use superbeam and ESfile explorer

Share files between Android and Windows with ES File Explorer - CNET

Similarly, files can be transferred using it between phones.

Phone to Phone ?

select those which you want to share
press menu button (or "more" ) and click send
chose either wifi hotspot or join wifi network. make sure the receiver is connected to the network/created hotspot
select the target device
click send

Zangetsu said:

Yup but I advise you to use it on home network since on public servers the files will be visible.

Zangetsu said:

I use shareit.. The user interface is nice and pleasing to the eye..
Speeds vary from 5-8mbps between phones and the shareit app is also available in windows..
The main advantages of shareit (acc. To me) is if the file transfer is disconnected and if you resend the file, it resumes the transfer instead of restarting the transfer..

Try ZAPYA and XENDER. U can transfer files from Android to iOS also.

ZAPYA interface is so easy

A

Superbeam, easiest transfer app ever

Well, so far, Airdroid and Superbeam are leading, with ShareIt at third position.

Reminder for those who still haven't voted in the poll!

Fast File Transfer

-Full functionality in PRO version
-Measly 2.1mb install
-No PC client installation
-Platform independent
-Speed limited by your hardware

Been using this app without a hiccup (of course, with a little tweaking :twisted:

). And did I mention it works offline ? Oh yes, it does. Still, Airdroid is awesome. The only problem ? PC-to-Android refuses to work in my case, so I stopped using it :-?

but in any app both phones shud have that app installed to transfer files

Zangetsu said:

They got a standard Bluetooth option where as these apps provide a hotspot based and wifi based transfer.

Xender its the best file transfer app! because of the speed and the simple UI.

Its so easy to use just connect and share files.

NO data capping like other apps and no ads. It just does what it says " File transfer" seamlessly.
