WiFi File Explorer Pro is free for one day from Amazon Appstore. Turn your Android phone into a mini Web server so you can download/upload file from/to it using a Web browser via WiFi.

Using this app, you don't need to use a micro USB cable or setup bluetooth pairing to transfer files between your Android phone and your PCs/laptops etc…

UPDATE:

Or, like timhn pointed out below, get File Expert free from Android Market (it is free and has many more features).

  From the amazon site >
  "Download restrictions
  • AT&T has enabled purchases from the Amazon Appstore for some devices (Learn more)
  • Amazon Appstore is only available to customers located in the United States"

  Did anyone in OZ actually get this app?
  sounds like a good app but it keeps asking for payment info.

    You pretty much need to use a fake US address and details.

        Also worth noting, the "free" apps will stop working if you remove the Amazon app.

    Good App but beware that it will compromise the security of your phone, as it has access to:
    Your Personal Info
    - Read/Write browser's history and bookmarks, read/write contact data, read sensitive log data

  Best file manager/explorer on Android. Lot of features and completely free (no ads).

    I opened this purely to suggest File Expert.
    It supports the usual file browsing, copy/move/delete, etc
    But the thing that really gets me is that it also allows you to browse your shared folders on the PC via WiFi!

    This feature has been really handy on more than one occasion so it's only fair I give it some attention.

    Thanks a lot mate,
    i wasn't able to get to the Amazon Webstore from OZ after trying all the usual things,
    Copuple of different email addresses, Fake US Address and Phone number,
    Fake US credit card numbers etc,
    so just couldn't get the Amazon app store working, so this will certainly come in handy.

    Just on a side note does anyone here in OZ have access to the Amazon App store?

      yep. i searched for my own name in the USA white pages, used the address that i found.

      then searched for amazon developer credit card numbers, and used one of those.

      note: you won't be able to buy anything, you can only get the freebies.
