software to transfer photos and files between android phone and window 8 pc

A

please suggest a freeware.what does Onedrive do exacly

Onedrive is a cloud storing app like Dropbox and Google's Google Drive.

To transfer photos and any files I have found AirDroid to be the most awesome.

Just install Airdroid on your Android and you can access Complete phone on your PC if you are on same Wifi network. You can access every content of your phone through an local IP address or even through any other PC through Internet (although data transfer is limited to some MBs if you access phone's content over Internet).

The Airdriod interface in browser provides a Linux like UI for your Android. You can control your phone from the browser, browse files and contacts and much more. It's really cool.

ES Explorer on the Android phone. Switch on wifi. Connect to your home router. Enable Remote Manager in ES Explorer settings.

Install and open FileZilla on your Windows 8 PC. Enter the ftp address provided by ES Explorer. Go.
Alternatively open Explorer and type the ftp address into its address bar. Go.

AirDroid is a good application but for me it runs slightly weird. Cannot explain properly.

+1 for airdroid

ES file is what you should give a try

what about google chrome desktop-is it better

I suggest Xender File transfer & Share to transfer and share images, games, movie, videos, documents and even apps.

My favorites features
No Internet required.
Unlimited Data transfer with a very high speed.
File transfer between Android to Android and Android to iOs devices.
“Phone replicate” is one function which helps to completely transfer all the data from one phone to other in one touch. Finally an easy way to swap phones!

Try it!

airstream wants to download java in my pc-shud i accept it

A

reinstalled airdroid-working fine now

Download share it

I'm using moborobo. It's very annoying and keeps trying to install apps but it has really good options and a good file management over wifi

Did anybody said SendAnywhere?

try Zapya. It has more functions than ShareIt

works similar like Xender. you can share files between phone and pc. the speed depends on the hardware.

Use portal, easy and of late the best alternative to airdroid.

Folder sync

+1 Airdroid and nothing else

Airdroid is the most trusted and easy to use for Syncing data with PC.

You just need a browser in PC and nothing else to copy/paste files.

Airdroid seemed to have a lot of restrictions, also it was trying to send stuff to the cloud rather than just over local wifi

But we can't remove them unless they post spam URLs.
A member did just that. He inserted spam URL after editing an already approved post. Went straightaway banned.

To new members posting here: Inserting spam URL *after* your post is approved at a later date, is NOT over looked.

They are getting smarter. Initial posts will look like regular posts and after a long time, the edit will take place.

Makes your work much harder.

I am sure you can recognise them right away and keep a watch on their activities.

Yes, we can recognize. But they have to be caught 'in the act'. Its not considered good to ban based solely on suspicion.
That's we have report feature.
