Makers of Pushbullet push out Portal, a new app to help larger file transfers between phone and PC

At first, I was confused when I heard that the developers of Pushbullet had released a new app, Portal, to help transfer files between phone and PC. Pushbullet is probably already the best option for this, so what’s different with Portal? Well, as Pushbullet’s blog post details:

“We built Portal with a sole purpose—to make getting files onto your phone effortless, even if those files are very large or you have lots of files you want to transfer.”

While Pushbullet functions as long as you have an internet connection (mobile or Wi-Fi), Portal only works if both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. This is potentially really useful for those who like transferring large media files to their mobile devices for viewing, or transferring a bucketload of photos off their phone to their PC. Check it out in motion below:

We’ve yet to try the app ourselves, but we’re really interested to see how quick it is to do transfers. Pushbullet also says that Portal will have native integration within Android, which could make it just as indispensable as Pushbullet. If that sounds like your cup of tea, hit the link below which will take you to its Google Play Store page.
