Below are the 3 Best Free WiFi transfer apps for Android which can be used to transfer files from Android to either Android or PC over WiFi without requiring Bluetooth or an Internet connection.

App # 1 – ShareIt by Lenovo

ShareIt Main Screen

App # 2 – Xender for Android

Xender for Android

Xender is another app for WiFi file transfer , but its even one step ahead than ShareIt.

Using Xender too doesn’t require an Internet connection and is quite easy as follows –
- Download, Install and open the Xender app .
- After opening Xender app, tap on connect phone .
- Now we need to create a group in order to facilitate data transfer among the group devices, so on the sender device tap on “create group“. Once your group is created shift to the other receivers.
- Now on the receiving devices, go to “connect phone” and select “Join Group” option , now select the group created by the sender device.
- That’s it once you have joined the group simply select apps,photos,music on any of the devices and tap on “Share” it will be shared to all devices in the group!

App # 3 – Zapya

Zapya for Android

There were some contenders like feem, which were vying for the third spot, but it eventually went to Zapya, because of quality as well as due to the fact that feem had annoying ads. Using Zapya too is very easy, as follows –
- Download Install, and open Zapya app on the Sender device.
- Browse through the Photos, Music and Files . Simply tap on the file you want to send and click on the “Send” icon highlighted in the alongside figure.
- Now Zapya app on sender will create a WiFi group for sending the data.

Also, once you get used to the User Interface, you’ll love this new concept . Also, if you face or encounter any problems while using any of these apps feel free to comment.

Use Google Chrome browser as MP3/Audio/Video Player on Android/PC !
Recently, i flashed my phone and I was left with literally no external apps , also I didn’t had the apk packages with me and I had to urgently play some MP3 Songs present on my SD Card. I was looking for options, and then i remembered this article which i used to use Google Chrome/Mozilla Firefox as a File explorer cum Media player on PC using “file:///” protocol . So I decided to try my hand with this trick on Android too and it worked! I was able to use Google Chrome as a File explorer + MP3 Player + Video player too! on my Android! . Also this trick works on PC too! so i’ll be mentioning the steps for PC too!

Google chrome’d File Browser view

Method to use Google Chrome as MP3/Audio/Video Player on Android
- First of all Open your Google Chrome browser , you can also use Mozilla Firefox on Android . I tried it and it worked on Firefox too, but other 3rd party browsers like UC browser, Opera Mini and Dolphin browser weren’t able to support our method .
- Now in the address bar , Type and navigate these locations one – by – one ( Note – I am saying to try all URLs because the File system structure vary from device-to-device depending upon the Android version) .file:///sdcard/
  file://sdcard0/
  file://sdcard1/
  file://storage/
  
  file://storage/sdcard0/
- You’ll find that the Browser is able to open / show files on atleast one of these five address locations.
- Now, click on the folder name to enter it , and browse to the media file you want to open.
- After reaching the file , Simply Click on it – If its a MP3/Video File it will be played , or if its an image/html file it will be displayed right in your browser!
- Magical! isn’t it (Check the alongside image for reference) .
- Note – You can also use this trick to use Google Chrome browser as PDF viewer as Android lacks in-built PDF viewer (Thus, saving your memory required to install PDF viewer on your phone)
Method for PC Users to use Google Chrome/ Firefox Browser as MP3 / Audio Player on PC (Windows / MAC / Linux )
- The method is actually the same except you have to enter the URLs like this –
file://c:/ (To Access/Open C Drive in windows)

file://root/ (For Linux Users)

file://home/

file://Desktop/
- Now, again one of them will show your folder contents depending upon your OS , Click on the foldername to open the folder and on the media file to play/open it in your Browser 🙂 . It’ll work without any hiccups (You can also use it to view PDF files ).
The trick is quite simple but I hope, you guys will like it and use it to flaunt your geekiness 🙂 , Signing off with yet another Screenshot of my device using Firefox as the File explorer. If you face any problems or have any doubts/queries feel free to comment 🙂
