Bump Adds "Bump Your Computer" Feature - Tap The Spacebar With Your Phone To Send Files

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Applications, News

When Bump showed up on the smartphone scene, it was something of a novelty, but at the time it delivered file sync and transfer faster and easier than anything else. But with the proliferation of Dropbox, Google Drive and innumerable others, the game has changed. Bump plays a bit of catch-up today with an updated Android and web app, which allows users to send files between PCs (web) and mobile devices with ease.

They call the new capability "Bump Your Computer". Far from an invitation to laptop catastrophe, it's every bit as simple as the app itself: go to the Bu.mp website, select a file, picture, contact, etc.

Bump App Updated, Finally Supports File Transfers

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, News

Before NFC and Android Beam (or as Samsung like to call it, S Beam), there was Bump - an application that users share images, contacts, and apps by touching their phones together. However, Bump was pretty limited in the types of files it could transfer. If you wanted to send a document, zip file, or something similar, you were just out of luck (or forced to use email).

The Bump team heard your cries, and has been hard a work on a version of the app that supports file transfers. The feature - dubbed Bump Files - supports basically all file types, including videos, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.

TeamViewer For Remote Control Update Brings That All-Important Feature, File Transfer Between Desktop And Mobile

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Applications, News

While it's become commonplace in more civilized parts of the internet for your data to just appear on whatever device you're using (I haven't had to manually move contacts since 2008, for example), sometimes things get left behind. If you've ever felt the sting of realizing that one important file is stranded on your desktop, TeamViewer is here with a healing balm for you: file transfer.

TeamViewer for Remote Control just recently updated to allow users to transfer files both from your desktop to your mobile device, or vice versa. More importantly, the app doesn't require users to go through a full-fledged desktop interface to get to your files.
