Best solution to get file from PC to PPC

Is there a very convenient way to transfer a file directly to my PPC from my pc without having to wire it up? For example, I use dropbox on my different PC's so if i have a file i want on my laptop i just place that file in my dropbox folder on my desktop and BAM its on my laptop. So if im in a rush and want to transfer something to my phone, is there something like that where i upload it to a folder and later i can retrieve it on my phone? unfortunetly there is no dropbox support for Windows mobile.

Re: Best solution to get file from PC to PPC

theres no dropbox for wm yet, however you can login and download the file. you can also use mesh.com you can send youself an email with the cab file, however i usually just right click the file and send the file thru bluetooth directly to the phone. this works well both in windows (which i dislike) and in Linux (like).
Hope that helps!

Or do the old way like I do sometimes, pull out your flash card, put in computer, transfer file, drop back in phone...

Re: Best solution to get file from PC to PPC

You can do a dropbox type transfer on your WM. This is my favorite way of doing it.

You just network map a drive/folder on your pc and access that mappped drive using wifi on the ppc. Resco explorer supports network map drive access. You can install cabs over the network... there is no need to then move them over to the ppc. This will obviously only work when you are in range of your local network.

Your other solution is to create an FTP on your PC. Resco explorer also has built in FTP support. This way you can drop anything in the folder that you share on your FTP and access it from anywhere you have internet access from the PPC.

Both methods work very well.

Re: Best solution to get file from PC to PPC

This is how I do it. It might take you 15-20 minutes to set this up. But, its well worth it. I have a folder created on my computer called Shared. I have an FTP server running on my computer that I created using Filezilla and I share the "Shared" folder with a username and password. On my Touch Pro, I have Resco Explorer installed with the ftp plugin and have saved the settings to connect to my computer.

Now, anytime I need to transfer a file, I just drop the file to the Shared folder on my computer and voila... I see it on my phone.

You can also use Orb's file explorer to do the same thing Dropbox would do for you. Just go to their website, register, install, go to the settings and enable File Explorer. Once you access the website from your PIE, tap File Browser and browse to your folder.

Re: Best solution to get a web download from PC to PPC

I setup my AOL with my mobile number as a buddy. I have to download on my phone but it works great and is simple and can send a bunch of files. Note I have my IMs forwarded to my phone when I do this.

Memory card adapter is probably best bet to transfer complete files easily.
