Pocket Drive - is an application for the iPhone. With it, you can connect your smartphone via Wi-Fi to a computer and send or receive files from one device to another. The concept is not new, but it turns out very convenient.
Yes I know. You have a bunch of complaints about the iPhone. He does not live, non-functional, does not show you the score of favorite matches and does not support flash. But you still use them. Or do not use it and hate less. With one of them we will fight today. Pocket Drive - really interesting application. It turns the iPhone into a portable hard drive that connects to a computer (Windows and Mac) on the Wi-Fi.
After downloading the application, you need to go into it, and the iPhone is automatically recognized as a new device to a Mac. With Windows will have to suffer, but quite a bit. Once connected, you can send and receive files by dragging them directly into the iPhone folder.
Moved files appear instantly. Seriously, as soon as you move a file, it is immediately displayed on the iPhone. All because of the Wi-Fi Direct - a protocol that allows devices to communicate directly.
Communication is two-way. You can send files to your computer from your phone. Of course, the file types are limited to iOS, but there is a loophole. You can send text, photos, video and file, the application can back up and unzip files.
The Pocket Drive has a built-in browser, with which you can download any file from the Internet and send it.
In the settings you can set a password for the application and set design applications. There is a search that will help if you have lots of files.
Cons too. For example, you can not share files on the iPhone if the app is not open. Also, each new approach will have to accept a connection. This is done for security. But despite these shortcomings, Pocket Drive - a unique app that is useful to those who deal with large numbers of files. That is, each one of us.
