Getting pictures, videos, and other files from your computer onto your phone should be quick and painless. Portal helps by making it as easy as drag and drop.
Files are transferred over your WiFi connection which mean they dont count toward your mobile data limit. This also means files are transferred very quickly (even if theyre over 1 GB in size).
Features:
* Transfer individual files, multiple files, or entire folders at once
* Easily browse, open, or share the files youve put on your phone
* Use your files in your other apps with our Document Provider Extension
* Pictures transferred with Portal are automatically saved into your gallery
Pros and cons of Portal - WiFi File Transfers app for iPhone and iPad
Portal - WiFi File Transfers app good for
Great App but it doesn’t work on iOS 9 beta. Please update it asap. By the way 5 stars
As I said in the title, the app is almost perfect: WiFi sharing runs smooth and after a couple days of usage I did not encounter any major bugs in iOS 8.4
If in the near future the app will have a Bluetooth sharing feature that would make it the perfect sharing app, even with some price tag.
Some bad moments
I can only transfer files from my pc to my phone, and i need to do the opposite.
Simple an easy to use. It works great overall. The only minus is that you cant use the same process to transfer stored files on your phone to the computer your on. So its not quite like a wireless thumb drive. I would say at current state its half way there until they add this functionally to the interface. Once thats added it deserves 5 stars.
This app works great. Its super fast, deals flawlessly with different file types and really solves the issue of trying to get something from my computer to my phone quickly. AirDrop cant even compete to be honest.
The only drawback is that you have to be connected to the Internet to use it. Not really the apps fault since its the only way to transfer 1 GB+ files, or any other file at super speeds, but if you happen to be somewhere with no wifi then its useless.
Overall, though, this definitely could be labeled as an "essentials" app. Well done, yall
This app on my iPhone will not connect to my computer over WiFi even though both my computer and my iPhone are on the same WiFi network. All other inter device app connections work, so it is not a problem with my WiFi. The problem is in this Portal app.
App does exactly what it touts. Really a $3 app thats free. Load it.
Really appreciate that people take the time and dedication to develop an app like this. Thanks everyone for your hard work!
