Bu.mp App Transfers Files Between Phone And Computer

Given all the important information that we carry in our smart phones, there is always the concern regarding losing that information if your smart phone is lost or damaged beyond repair. There are things you can do for many of them to save things to the cloud, but that takes up the available data allocation for your wireless phone plan each time that you do that activity. You have to be careful when you doing it so that it is over a WiFi connection. The idea of having that information stored on your computer is now a reality for either Android or iOS phones.

The Bu.mp app from Bu.mp has added features allowing for the copying of files between your smart phone and your computer. It is not exactly a direct transfer, but the end result is selected files on your smart phone and your computer being exactly the same. The Bu.mp process moves things to their Cloud first and then to the receiving device. This is a very simple way to make sure that you have things in two places so that your personal items are not lost if either your smart phone or computer are destroyed or stolen. That is especially true for your contacts and photos that are on your smart phone. I maintain all my contacts on my Galaxy S3 and not on my computer, so if I lost it, it would be a big problem. And I can select other files on my computer that I want to take with me.

The current version of the Bu.mp app is an expansion of what it has been known for in the past. It has been best known for transferring files between smart phones with the app. And with a limit of 30 MB, it should be far more than you will need. With the free Bu.mp Cloud service you have a place to store your selected information and the goal of the company is to keep the service free. They are looking to expand the amount of space in the future, but that will probably incur a cost to people using the additional storage space.

The process is very simple. You download the Bu.mp Andoid app or the iOS app and install it on your phone. You navigate to Bu.mp. on your computer and you are ready to begin. You then select the items that you want to share on your smart phone and tap the space bar on your computer with your smart phone which starts the process. That's all there is to it.
