\n<\/a>If you are a Mac user, at any level, you will know about and love one of the new features that were introduced with Lion, Air Drop.<\/p>\n

The ability to simply share files with friends and colleagues over a secure, ad-hoc wireless network negates the need to access\/share folders, send chunky emails or work with FTP servers.<\/p>\n

\nThankfully, twomanshow<\/a> has created an app that allows the same functionality with your iOS devices.<\/p>\n

\nInstashare<\/a> allows wireless file-sharing between iOS devices, as well as between OS X and iOS devices.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve installed the OS X version for your Mac, go ahead and grab the iOS versions<\/a> from the App Store. Pricing? FREE!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Once you have these going, you will simply be able to add files into the console that you wish to share. <\/p>\n

\nAny other iOS device that not only has the app installed, but has it open, will then show up as destinations.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

\nJust like Air Drop, the transfers work on an acceptance policy, meaning the destination will get a message indicating who is trying to transfer what to them, and they will need to explicitly accept the connection. <\/p>\n

                    
\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Simple, easy, functional. What more do you need?<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Check out the other apps from the twomanshow.<\/p>\n

As always, Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
