Yes, via Bluetooth or dropbox "wifi"

via FTP
I also use a free file manager from the marketplace called File Manager HD. It allows me to map a drive to my Windows machine wirelessly. From there I just copy the files I need.

ES manager is the best. You can also copy files to the microsd.
Wifi file Explorer works.
Android to pc on free app and pc to Android on paid

I use WebSharing File/Media Sync by NextApp. It creates a web server on your phone. Connect you PC to your phone via wifi and you use your PC browser to view, upload and download files from TF
The Lite version is free and has no ads. The full version cost $3.00, but it is worth paying as I use it a lot to transfer movies and music
As a full function , but more expensive solution, I use a Tonido Plug ( Small server module at $99.00) connected to a 1TB drive. It is on 247 and I can access via wireless at home or anywhere in the world via internet to up/download files or stream photos or music. Do not have to leave PC on.

+1 for the File Manager HD
It is free, nice graphics and UI. Mapped my networked storage, and gives me instant access to all files on it wirelessly.

Another +1 for File Manager HD, looks great and allows wireless transfers. I tried that ES File Manager and lol it looks horrible, I don't see how anybody could like it or even stand to use it.

+1 for Tonido. You can install Tonido on your PC, Mac or Linux computer and upload, download files from you Android phone.

Hi,
Has anyone done a file sharing between a PC and a TMO Wing without any software?
Thanks

Get a memory card reader and a microSD.
You can also use a bluetooth dongle for the pc and then beam files directly to your Wing without connecting with activesync.
Can we do that by wirless router? Say both the devices are connecting to the same wirless router.
A bluetooth dongle requires you to install the bluetooth software on the PC. If this is a locked down corporate computer, this is a no-go.
The WiFi sounds intriging... there are ways to browse network shares... but then again, this requires you to have wireless access to the network.
Wireless networking...

Hi there,
I’ve have successfully used file sharing over a wireless network between my pocket pc and my computer, it was even stable enough to stream and watch full sized divx movies (not resized for pocket pc) on my pocket pc. The only catch is that I’m using Resco Explorer to map a network drive on my pocket pc. I haven’t tried using the default Windows Mobile Explorer yet.

Yes i'm doing the same thing, for some reason i can get fullsized videos to stream though, can with music not video though, what player do u use ?
Overall its pretty easy to browse the network and share files, just use resco explorer and map the right folder
I use card export in my old BlueAngel... install it and the PPC connects to windows as a mass storage device... this and a spare usb cable in my bag... no need for anything else.

If the computer already has bluetooth you can create a pairing profile. From then you can right click on the file you would like to send and select send to bluetooth then to your profile. This is best if used with smaller files such as cabs. Hope this helps. Works for me.

Good idea. I didn't think about that. You can download WM5torage to do the same thing. It'll turn your PocketPC into a portable drive.
If you have wireless you can user simple file sharing on the computer and see the share on pocket via Resco Expl. or Windows Commander. : \\pc_name\disk_share. If you want to made file transfer like cabs or music, movies it's very simple and you don't need card reader blablabla...
Right know I want to made the revers way to share the PPC to PC.
Any ideea?
Does somebody knows how to open documents stored on a usb stick in Docs to Go?
I kan see the files and i can play video's from the usb stick, but i cannot see how to browse to the files in Docs to Go.
My Iconia is not rooted.
I use file manager HD and open the documents directly from the USB storage. Works great for me.

Any FTP app that I have tried on my 10.1 seems to require me to browse my tablet's files FROM my pc and then upload a file on my pc TO the tablet.
I would like Tab to be able to connect to my LAN, and then be able to view my PC's folders FROM my tablet.
Scenario:
1. Using my tablet in bed and want a video or other file on my PC.
2. Way to tired to go downstairs with the tablet, usb link it to the PC, wait for file to transfer, go backupstairs.
3. Would much prefer to keep my lazy butt in bed, and just ftp browse my PC folders (always on) from my Tab
4. Would love it to download in the background, while I do something else on the the tablet in the meantime.
I dont wish to use dropbox or sugarsync to transfer files wirelessly.
I do that already. If the file I want is not in my dropbox then I have to go to the pc anyway. Also, its double the time with a PC upload first, then a tablet download.
I am using Win 7 64x and it would be great to have the Tab as part of my Homegroup.

I have shared all my drives in my PC and use ES file explorer to browse them from my tablet
I use es file explorer all the time . It can access my shared folders of my computer network or download through ftp!
Try the following
Gmote app - lets you stream videos from pc and much more. However you have to run the corresponding software on your pc.
Software cable - this is probably not what you want but it is worth trying due to its simplicity
Cheers
I use es file explorer as well and it works great, my only issue is that large files ie. movies will say they have copied successfully from PC to tablet but when I look for them they are not on the tablet anywhere???
Has anyone else experienced this?
I did transfer once but via cable, and yes, the file disappears. not sure what happened. File Explorer is surely one of the more interesting options out there that supports ftp and http file transfer, but i have yet to do any large file transfers yet.
Is there a fastest way to transfer file from PC to USB? I'm transferring Street Fighter IV data but it takes as hell in USB MTP and in Airdroid the web browser hangs "google chrome hangs on transferring" Is there a better way to transfer this 1GB files Thanks
Copying files over Wifi should be faster, and you can use your tablet normally while it happens in the background.
If you're using Windows, put the file in a shared folder and you'll be able to see it through the ES File Explorer app under the LAN section.
That ES File Explorer method should work on me. Thanks to that. That might help me my file transfer
Its amazing that something transfers faster over wifi than directly connected.
I have been struggling with an efficient way to copy items to and from my FireTV. Primarily backing up the entire KODI app data folder to push to another FireTV (I like to keep them in sync this way). Previously I would use ES on the TV to copy the folder to a network location, but that always took forever to move a gig. I thought the FX web server feature might work better, and the copy is MUCH easier and MUCH faster.
I have google play services installed on this unrooted FireTV, don't know if that is required or not...
Steps:
1. Have FX and the FX+ key app installed on your device. (I absolutely love FX and have used it since it was in beta, the plus is worth the fee!)
2. Sideload both apps to your TV using Easy Fire Tools or equivalent.
3. Open FX and click File Sharing to start the web server.
a. FX doesn't work with the remote, so you need that Mouse toggle app on your TV, Vysor on the computer to click via screen share, a BT mouse attached, or some other wireless mouse remote app)
4. Type the address of the webserver into your browser on the same network, then get to it!
EDIT: In your web browser on the left drop down menu of the FX web web interface, you can enable "View Hidden Files" to navigate the Android/data folder.
One of FX File Explorer's great features. I think MixPlorer also offers this.
WebSharing Lite might also do the trick, same company that dev's FX: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.websharing&hl=en
However it has not been updated since 2014 so I'm not sure how the transfer speeds are. The pro version of that app will let you mount the FireTV storage as a drive in windows. I want to play with that feature because that would be most convenient.

Thanks for the tip on this app! MiXplorer works great with the FTV remote, and the FTP server feature lets windows mount the FTV as a network location. Speeds are kinda slow, but perhaps a real FTP client will improve that. WebDAV access works great too.
I have been using ES File Explorer (as FTP server) on FTV stick V2 with Filezilla as ftp client on windows side.
transfers have been acceptably fast for me. Doing as you suggested, coping a configured stick to windows
and then restoring to another stick over ftp.

Glad the app tip helped. Looks like MiXplorer even works over ethernet compared to FX File Explorer expecting a wi-fi connection.
