Hi, In addition, Airdrop is fantastic if you have an iOS device and a computer. I often donwload MP3 files on my computer, for example, and Airdrop them to Voice Dream Reader on my phone. The transfers are very quick. If you and a friend have iOS devices, it's also great for exchanging contact information.
