Click the Read More button for the details.
Most Android apps that let you transfer files over Wi-Fi require some sort of app or browser-based connection between the device and the computer, or the involvement of a web service. This can sometime make you stuck with only one task at a time. qrSend does away with that, and opts for a rather easier solution by employing QR code scanning method. The procedure to get it running on your PC and Android is fairly simple.
First off, download qrSend’s Windows application (JAR file for Mac OS X or Linux) on your computer, and install the Android app on your device. The Windows application doesn’t have any GUI and creates a new shell extension in the right-click context menu of the files. In order to transfer the file(s), simply right-click your desired item, followed by clicking ‘Send with qrSend’ from the context menu.
A QR code instantly pops up on the computer screen, letting you to scan it through any code scanning app on Android. qrSend’s Android app uses Barcode Scanner by default, but you can also any other app of your choice by installing it from Google Play.
Now open the qrSend app on your Android device and tap the minuscule upload button at the top. If Barcode Scanner isn’t already installed on your device, you can tap ‘Yes’ to let qrSend automatically download it for you. Having done that, scan the QR code and the selected file(s) will be instantly copied to the device. You can also access the file(s) without leaving qrSend by tapping the eye button. There’s also a Settings screen that lets you toggle file transfer notifications and select the download folder as well as your default QR code scanning app.
It’s good to see that qrSend lets you transfer multiple files in batch, though you can’t transfer a folder via this method, which would have been a nice option to have. All in all, it’s a very useful tool for instantly copying files from your computer to your Android device without much hassle.

So far it only supports “Scan” and “Barcode Scanner” internally, but most QR scanners will send its data to qrSend automatically. Which scanner are you using? Try scanning the code with your QR scanner app and see if it opens in qrSend.

Hello, I am the author of qrSend. Thank you very much for featuring me on your website!
I am currently working on an update for both the android application and the desktop client to enable transfers of any mix of files and/or folders in a single scan, some improvements to the transfer process itself, as well as the option to choose which folder to put transferred files in (as opposed to only choosing between /qrSend and /Downloads).
Hopefully the update will be out by tomorrow. The updated Android application will notify you when you need to update your desktop client to allow for the new multi-file/folder transfer!
