What do you use to upload your photos/files?

I was wondering what you guys use to upload your photos/files to a PC/internet without connecting the cable everytime? Built in Android has support for Flickr and Picasa. But I've also seen a DropBox app.
What do you guys use?

there is an app in the market (a free one) to transfer files to pc via wifi, i forget the name tho, search for upload in the market and it should come up.
dropbox is good for uploading to the net although i just do it through Opera browser (free in market) the only browser that seems to allow uploading to the internet.
Hope this helps

I'm giving PicPush a try. It seems perfect for what I'm looking for. If it works as advertised, I'll drop the $3 or whatever on it.

There are some free FTP apps I use sometimes when I am at work and don't have my USB cable. Your phone becomes an FTP server and you can connect to it via WiFi using any ftp client software.
I use SwiFTP, it's nice and simple, but there are others out there as well. You can get SwiFTP in the market or go to swiftp.org I believe.

thanks for developer create it

PDA Net was not made to do this so of course it won't work. PDA Net was made to do the opposite which is to share your phone's internet with a PC. Also there are ways to do reverse tethering (Internet from PC to Android) but the only place which has an app (what I know of) requires you to register to be able to download it. Also their are certain scripts and commands through adb which you can run but they require a whole lot of work and there is like a 50% chance that they will work (some people say it works, some say it doesn't.

thanks for answer
i work by script but internet work for many software

Since you have an HTC Desire HD, then you could use the Internet Passthrough mode to do it - see here: http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/using-internet-passthrough-mode-htc-desire-z-and-desire-hd. If it doesn't work (but it should), then you could try this: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html. Hope it works for you.

[Q] torrent client apps

I have used uTorrent, aTorrent, and tTorrent and sometimes they work great other times they download very very slow.. like 100bytes/s - 3Kb/s instead of 3.2MB/s but if I tether and use uTorrent on desktop or laptop with same exact torrent file, they will download properly around 3.2MB/s..
I increased peer connections and such and I connect to 50+ peers and looking at peer list a lot of they ones I'm downloading from great on PC they are slow on phone itself..
Do some clients restrict cellphone users bandwidth?
Are torrent apps just not as evolved as the PC torrent clients?
Is there any torrent apps that are better than others?
Thanks!

they are like that only....if u want faster downloads u should have a wifi connection with a great speed

My LTE is fast.. I can download max at 4.3mb/s when tethering or using some other app.. Just torrents don't work right all the time

Just use zbigz.com or bytebx.com if ur download data is less or buy an account and download torrents at full speed through ur browser

[Q] Will SHAREit & SuperBeam work without WiFi Direct?

I have been searching a lot about different file transferring apps. After googling a lot I kept stumbling into three apps; Xender, SuperBeam & SHAREit. I found that Xender can trasnfer file with just WiFi (without WiFi Direct) by using Virtual Router & Client concept. But I couldn't find anywhere if SuperBeam & SHAREit can do the same... All my SmartPhones have WiFi Direct & so do my friends' SmartPhones. So there is no way of checking if they work without WiFi Direct. So can anyone please confirm or verify, if SuperBeam & SHAREit apps will work wihtout WiFi Direct?
I have a small question, will Xender work with just Bluetooth (without WiFi & WiFi Direct)?

Hi Satya,
Xender uses Wi-Fi direct technology which means that it can transfers data up to 50 times Bluetooth speed, Most of the Smartphone today have Wi-Fi
There is no reason to use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi direct so Xender never carry Bluetooth functions.
Thanks

Firstly your question does not belong to this forum
And answer is superbeam can also use hotspot to send files, for that you need to go into superbeam's setting and then go into sending and select preferred direct mode as hotspot (instead of auto)

I asked about Bluetooth compatibility because I wanted to cover all bases. And thanks for clarifying that. But don't you think it will be cool if Xender was able to send file even when wifi and wifi direct facilities are unavailable?

I've been messing around with file transfer apps myself. On the play store there's "WiFi...." by app dev dubloo (I think) its been a bit since. Anyway, that app allows files from device to a computer with an easy to use interface via web browser. I guess the app acts like a server. If you are interested... ICE COLD APPS have *Servers*/*Synchronize* "Ultimate" by way of the play store. Plus, there is a support or feedback thread for each here on XDA. If you were looking at using superbeam I would recommend picking up the pro key as well. The main app functions well on its own, like, the pro key adds just enough at the right price to say heck with it and pick it up for $3 or so. There are a couple different options to choose from before starting a file transfer, too. And I'm pretty sure+don't quote me+ that each option has a brief description of the way the files move from device to device. Also, there is a windows app to compliment. Last, certainly not least -SimPfile(also on play) I think using WiFi direct. Like, both devices need to be on the same WiFi network. Less options than superbeam, no pro key. And for what you pay for it, its free, BTW... It gets the job done if you are looking for a straight forward app without the bells and whistles. And just to name drop, FX file explorer has a small pay once add-on for media sharing also. Feeling adventurous? Tired of of the run of the mill apps? Give that a shot.... Its been in production and updated since either the end of GB or the beginning of ICS. Each of those apps has been good to me.✌?
just an edit - browsing xda app section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55878697

Does WiFi Direct work reliably now?

This is one area where Android has failed miserably, and just like App Data backup, Google doesn't seem to be interested in fixing this problem.
THE REQUIREMENT​
Ability to transfer files to other devices WITHOUT the use of internet or an intermediary device such as the router in a LAN.
Apps like SHAREit, Zapya, etc. were always a hit or a miss. They NEVER worked reliably. I have tried several apps in this category and it was the same story with all of them.
Has this problem been fixed today?
What is the best way to transfer files between two or more devices (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS) WITHOUT using internet or being connected to the same WiFi network?​
Cross-platform support would be great.

Excerpt from here
You might want to take a look at WiFi Direct and alike. There are several apps on the Playstore making use of this, like e.g.
SuperBeam | WiFi Direct Share (with a fall-back to "hotspot mode" in case of WiFi Direct problems: one device creates a hotspot, the other connects to it)
WiFiShare : Share Files Freely states it brings WiFi-Direct like functionality on lower version of Android, it also enables to send large size files to multiple people at a time -- which I understand as it does not depend on WiFi Direct, but emulates it itself.
Fast File Transfer utilizes WiFi tethering to achieve the same. The description states you could even send files to an iPh**e (censored It plugs into the "Share" menu.
WiFi Shoot! WiFi Direct uses WiFi direct
One of those should be fitting your needs.

If you check, 2 of the links don't exist, and the other 2 seem to have been abandoned by their developers.
Internet is cheap today, and cloud/ streaming services are becoming the norm today. Still, there are situations where we may want to transfer large amounts of data between devices while on the move. A proper solution (like AirDrop from Apple) doesn't exist in Android today, unfortunately.
As I mentioned in OP, I have tried several apps for a long time and they were all a hit or miss. None of them were reliable. The issue was devices not showing up in the hotspot that these apps would create. So the question of transferring files wouldn't arise.
