#Instashare air drop transfer mac free Bluetooth#* Note: AirDrop does not require that the sharing devices be on the same WiFi network it uses Bluetooth and peer-to-peer WiFi to transfer files. If developers embrace the ability to share more information through AirDrop, it could well turn out to be one of the most useful features ever created for iOS. Right now, it's a great implementation of something that has been needed in iOS since the first iPhone appeared. I hope that future updates, both to iOS 7 and to third-party apps, make AirDrop even more useful to the Apple world. #Instashare air drop transfer mac free install#I'd much rather see Apple "Sherlock" (build a third-party app's functionality into the OS) Instashare's capabilities so we are able to zap files hither and yon right out of the box instead of having to install and run a third-party app. ![]() Mike Rose recently took a look at another app - DeskConnect (free) - that also offers iOS to Mac transfers, but appears at this time to be much less robust in terms of the apps and file types it supports than Instashare. ![]() I'm a big fan of Instashare (free, US$0.99 in-app purchase to remove ads), which is a cross-platform set of applications that's perfect for sending most file types between your Mac and iOS device. To transfer files between Mac and iOS device, you're still going to need a third-party app. #Instashare air drop transfer mac free mac os x#Apple introduced AirDrop for OS X two years ago with the release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. What other capability is AirDrop lacking? It can't send or receive files to or from a Mac. The devices that are AirDrop-savvy are the iPhone 5/5s/5c, 4th generation iPad, iPad mini, and 5th generation iPod touch. So, this sounds pretty good, huh? Well, don't get too excited - AirDrop doesn't work on all iOS devices. #Instashare air drop transfer mac free update#It's a bit of surprise that Apple hasn't updated the iWork suite for iOS to be able to take advantage of AirDrop, but it wouldn't surprise me to see an update soon that makes it possible to beam Keynote presentations and Pages documents to other users. I anticipate that more developers will catch on to the utility of being able to send files to nearby users.
