WiFi File Server Pro for Android
Exactly what I was looking for! Let's you log into a web interface to download or upload files.
EASY
After trying a couple similar apps from the Play store, I found this to be the best. I got 2mb xfer speeds from my S4, very nice for work where sites like dropbox are firewalled. Like the https security and the random-generated password so nothing to remember or edit, just pop and drop.
This is perfect for needing to transfer a few files back and forth from phone to pc and vise versa.
EASY
Update: A possible reason for this app's total failure is because I have AirDroid installed too...and those 2 apps MIGHT conflict by using the same port number...though I think my original review is correct. ORIGINAL: The very best apps that transfer files via WiFi, such as AirDroid or MobileGo, are bloated with tons of features. So, I loved WiFi File Server Pro because of its elegant simplicity: it used to do only one thing...transfer files via WiFi...and it did that very well. SINCE UPDATING TO ANDROID v5, this app will NOT connect to my PC (and yes, I disabled my PC's anti-virus suite before trying to get this app to work). So, I returned to the app's Play page...and noticed it was last updated in 2013. It is fair to say that the Developer abandoned his app--don't waste your time or money on this app!
EASY
I paid for this but the functionality is not worth the cost. I wanted to upload a large hierarchy of files and folders but the app only seems to handle one file at a time. This is useless for me. There is also no documentation on the seller's website. I've requested a refund and have switched to the very functional (and free) AirDroid.
Showing up on computer screen other than that no other complaints

Works very well, thanks.
Love this since the KitKat upgrade I lost root on my note 3. This works to fill in the holes left by the ATT lock down.
I love it!
I was looking for a capability to securely transfer files from various laptops to my various cell phones. With this app, I can safely do this in a United Club, or even a Starbucks. The app enforces strong, one-time passwords, and provides Https:// encryption. Just what I wanted. An amazing additional capability. When traveling for business meetings, sometime I need to get a file from my laptop to my cell phone, and there is no time to find a WIFI access point. I enable the standard Mobile Hotspot on my phone. Then I start the WIFI File Server, which produces the URL and strong password. I then connect my laptop to the mobile hotspot, and bring up a browser, enter the URL for the WIFI File Server, enter the requested password, and then I can transfer to my hearts content with no security issues.
This is the best file transfer app out there. I have tried many and this one is hands down the best WiFi app. It is a lot easier than connecting your cable. Just open the browser and login to the phone. Perfect also get their package tracker it is the best shipment tracker on the market.
No AV's, no firewalls, no matter.
Try for yourself
Great for transferring numerous files to my devices without bluetooth or when I need to tranfer a directory with numerous files in it.
Not support cyrillic names.
works great
Does exactly what it promises and does it very well. It helped me a lot.
No need for my cable anymore! Very stable and reliable, easy to setup and use. File transfer speed is fast.
Best!
Does not run. Crashes with an error.
