Now, just drag any number of files from your PC to the browser window (1 GB max) and they’ll be transferred to your phone automatically (no confirmation boxes). The upside is you can send files between any devices and aren’t limited by Wi-Fi networks.Īll you have to do is download the Android app, make sure both your phone and PC are on the same Wi-Fi network, open in your modern browser (Chrome or Firefox for example), scan the QR code that’s on the screen using the Android app and both devices are (securely) connected. Yes, Pushbullet also lets you send files but there’s a 25 MB limit and it’s not a direct transfer, you need to go through Pushbullet’s servers, that takes a lot of time. It’s called Portal and all it will let you do, is transfer files from PC (both Windows and Mac) to your Android phone over Wi-Fi. This time though, Pushbullet is out with its own standalone app. Every time Pushbullet updates, it makes one more Android utility redundant. It has now grown to include a universal clipboard tool, ability to reply to messages from PC, getting notifications, a feature rich IFTTT channel and apps for iOS. Pushbullet made its way to the Play Store as a humble little utility for easily sharing text and links between PC and Android phone.
