Description

From the listing uploaded by “amd123”.

This is the Pro version of the Optical File Transfer app. Send small files to your phone through camera - as a stream of QR images. Features : • Requires no WiFi, no Bluetooth and no USB cable to transfer files • Both wireless and offline at the same time • Minimal setup - when in download mode, just point the camera on the stream and wait • Generates little RF noise - so can be safely used in the airplane mode on the plane • Can process requests to send file from other apps in the system (like your favorite file manager app) Notes : • To receive file from desktop PC - see the supplementary Windows program at http://wrobel.wroclaw.pl/opticalfiletransfer/en/win/index.php or Linux program at http://wrobel.wroclaw.pl/opticalfiletransfer/en/lin/index.php - they are both compatible with this app. • Sending larger files is very time consuming - so this app does not intend to replace USB/WiFi way of file transmission at all. It rather allows to quickly grab some small pdf/text/image from the PC/phone to phone, when you do not feel like searching for USB cable/setup Bluetooth/WiFi just for that one small file. • It also does not guarantee that transmission will ever succeed on every phone on the default settings. How fast phone can handle capture of the stream depends on the camera/general phone performance/stream brightness/camera ability to focus. • Default settings are likely not optimal for every phone. • If you have problems succeeding to transfer anything on default settings, experiment with the settings - slow down with FPS/allow more errors/etc. • If you want to speed up a little bit, you can also tweak settings a little - towards faster ones - and find what is the limit for your phone/camera. • Transmission settings affects only QR stream producer in upload mode - receiver in download mode only fits to what it sees. • Free version supports files up to 1MB in size. Additions over the free version : • It does not have any adds - so little less laggy than the free version • It can support transfer of files bigger than 1MB • It allows you to choose download location of the received files • Uses less space on the phone flash memory - because it does not use any ad functionality

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
