On your computer you can navigate to bu.mp and then bump (hit) the spacebar with your phone. A new window will open with a preview of the file, giving you the option to download it, or share it. If you would like to transfer a file from your PC or Mac to your iPhone, click on Send files to your device on the bu.mp page and select the files to send. They will be automatically sent to your phone and can be accessed by opening the app. The app is free from the website, and works on both Mac and PC.

You can also send files from your iPhone through the app, selecting the file and dragging it onto connected computers. Instashare will take care of the rest. This app is an easy way to transfer files within the Apple environment while not having to physically connect your device to your computer.
