Sending music from PC to Android - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Anybody know how to do this wirelessly? I've tried dropbox but it only asked me to listen to the music not download it onto my memory

There's the Spotify App, which you need to have premium membership to sync over Wifi.
There's DoubleTwist and its AirSync which also work well, again AirSync is a paid app
You could potentially try the Airdroid app from the market, this one is free, if you only plan on sending a few songs because the transfer speed is super slow.
You can also do bluetooth transfer

If your music is in a shared folder
you can use ES File Explorer to connect to folder/PC to transfer files. It works very well and is very fast.

Use kies air.

If you long press a file in Dropbox and choose export, that will download it to the phone.

One thing about Android....hitting menu everywhere and long presses often give you options. Not as easy to navigate a some other mobile OS, but allows for more functionality.

That's usually what I do. If you don't want the file in your dropbox folder anymore, make sure you go back and delete it.

google music?

Costs to much data... I only have the 200 Mb plan. Rather have the real file. I only use Google music for the songs I don't listen to often

You can set it to download via wifi only and make it cache all your albums. It could work.

try dragging in a folder from the desktop
its strange - when i did it with an empty folder i got a folder and an empty file in the folder - deleted the file..
that's the only way i found to do it so far.
also when the top link is full (50GB i think is max?) feel free to use mine to give you and me an extra gb storage
edit: my account is maxed out
minus faster or Dropbox?

i havent got 50GB - but you can get that much free I think from referrals - Android Police said they maxed theirs out a few days ago on Google+ and I am sure I read at 50GB.
you start with 10, 11 if you sign up from a referral.
Free 25gb here (skydrive)
http://www.appbrain.com/app/sorami-skydrive-beta/shoozhoo.sorami
easier mount as network drive on PC
http://www.gladinet.com/p/intro_microsoft_skydrive.aspx (trail works fine also suports other cloud storage)
Linux
http://skydrivesync.codeplex.com/
also when i registered my phone with dropbox they upgraded it to 5gb (for 12 months) just install the app on your phone after installing on PC
hope this helps...
Without (proper) Android app is SkyDrive useless. Microsoft is suppose to release official one, but I have no idea when.
maybe but it works well enough for me along with dropbox ofc

probably in time for Win8.
they are hyping it up for that I think
It should be out with WLE 5, but again, not sure when or if it will be in beta. Only time will tell.

looks like if you upload a file too, you click on it to open it there's a 'rename folder' option at the top left - so you upload a file it creates a folder automagically which you can then rename - and add more files to that folder
my account is maxed out
50GB storage space
Is it possible to move files between different folders?
Edit:
If someone want he's ref link in first post PM me, as my storage is full aswell (50gb)
So Is started using Minus and I must say the comfort of using it is nowhere near DropBox.

Wireless File Managment App

hey i was wondering if anyone here has come across a app that will allow me to browse the files on my phone and drag and drop files from my computer on to my phone with out having to connect a usb to the computer, pretty much to sync wirelessly but to whatever specific folder i want on my phone . was playing around with Browsix which from what iv read should have that feature but i either havent been able to find out how it works or maybe it dosent have it at all.
Try the built in Samsung Kies Wireless app on your phone. It works quite well over the local wifi network.

Kies air. It's in your app drawer. I believe that's what you're looking for. Let's you navigate through everything on your phone wirelessly.

yea i just set it up and essentially thats what im looking for. but for example i have a folder with icons i wanna drop onto my phone. i have a folder for icons but i cant just drag that folder on to my phone through the kies browser and expect it to show up on my phone? when i click upload it only gives me the option to upload individual files not a whole folder. unless im not clicking the right option.
Try airdroid its a very nice app.

spot on man. i like how it gives you a desktop like window to play with. even lets you create folders on your phone and just import the files over. very very nice.
No problem bro, I love that app.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I just installed AirDroid, based on the recommendations, and partly because it uses port 8888 instead of 2121 that I'm using for another app.
One problem I'm seeing is that it doesn't load my Contacts. I get a yellow triangle and the message, "Failed with network error." This is on a Sprint E4GT running Calkulin's 2.7 if that matters.
I have used myphone explorer! It works great. I believe you can copy n sync files and folders from your pc to your phone. you can send sms through your phone from your pc keyboard. I was really impressed with it and it's almost a 5 star free program at the market.

Setup a dropbox account. Install it on the pc and the app on the phone. The pc will always stay synched and you can get to your files from anywhere.
There are many options to do what I think it is you want. You could set up an SSH server on your system, create a rule through your router/firewall and if you don't have a static IP use something like OpenDNS; then use a VPN client to connect (VPNRoot in Play Store works).
You could also use DropBox, Box.net, SkyDrive, Google Drive or any other 'cloud' sync service for specific files too.
Or more simply you can use something like LogMeIn or TeamViewer. Both are dead simple and if you really do need access to your system while your away (or do remote tech support) these are well worth the price(s).
Are you looking for something like Samba for android?
Not sure if you are looking for something that will allow you to do this when you aren't near your PC, or if you are looking at something so you don' have to hook up your phone to your computer.

It allows you to copy files to and from your phone via Wi-Fi... maybe you just didn't rtfm. Also wireless adb will too

[Q] Best way to make the switch to Nexus from a phone that actually has a Micro SD?

So i'm ordering the GNex from Sprint on October 1st. What's the best way to copy all data to the Nexus from what my old phone will be, which is the Epic 4G Touch. Are there any apps I could use? I know that using nandroids is a definite no. Would restoring apps through aTitanium backup on my E4GT be okay to do? Or is there something easier I could use? And other than that, I could just copy all my photos and music over to the GNex, I know that. Just certain app data and game saves are what I'm worried about.
You don't need external sd... If you link your dropbox to your mobile, you will have 50gb

What I was asking is transferring App data. such as Angry Birds progress and other stuff like that. I could easily transfer SMS, pictures, and videos.
Drag and drop? Seriously, you just connect to your computer and drag and drop all the files

Try "DataSync" in the Play Store.

How did you get it on your phone, lol? If it some where and you can't find it, pull everything from your storage places and put them on your PC and search both files with in your computer search index and see if you can find them... If they are there, then create a folder named /music and you will good to go. If they aren't there then get new music or however you got them there in the first place.

So i downloaded all of my musics whitin my device reason i never store music on my pc is because i barely do use it...
I guess i could do that too but i once remember i restored an backup and everything was in its place ? Its weird..
Also since i use various apps to get my music they are in different folders there js nothing inside my /music folder is this anything bad ?
I could download the music back also but takes quite a while + my lost game datas and precious images :/

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.
