Q: Can you suggest a way to quickly move files from my phone to my computer? Emailing them to myself works but is a bit long-winded.
Try a tool called Ssavr which you can find at www.ssavr.com; this allows you to swap files with other machines that are on the same network as you. The tool is free to use.
To copy pictures from your phone to your computer, make sure both devices are on the same wifi network, then using your phone's browser, go to the Ssavr address. Click on the upload button and choose your photographs.
Then on your computer, open up the same page and click the download button, and you'll see a list of all the photographs that you can then copy/download.
You can do this with files and plain text as well, so it is useful to share something quickly with colleagues.
