Superbeam

We transfer files at lot both between our devices and with other people. Email works to do this but has limits. It would be so much easier to just beam it to the person wouldn't it? Superbeam facilitates this on the spot and has capability of doing huge file transfers. Superbeam works by way of Wi-Fi networks or NFC paring. In the event that you are in the middle of a store or house with no network, it will create a Wi-Fi direct network between the devices. Superbeam's technical features are only overshadowed by how easy it is to use. Just grab the file or files you want and use Android's built in share dialog and select Superbeam. This opens the app and shows the number of files and size of the transfer along with a huge QR code. The other person opens the Superbeam app on their phone and scans the QR code and viola you are done and only have to keep the phones in relative proximity of probably 30 feet during the transfer. I personally have not tested the range but have done transfer in my house and walked to another room without error.

Get Superbeam here.
Please note this app is free and the developer is in a country that does not allow them to sell apps for profit. So if you like the app there is a paypal donate button in settings if you want to give a thank you to the developer.
