Move files with your phone

The phone and the Cardputer must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

1. On the Cardputer, open Storage and press w. You should see a QR code, an address and a six-digit code.
2. On the phone, scan the QR code with the camera and open the link. The page opens on the card's folders. (Without a camera: type the address in a browser, then the code.)
3. To download: tap a folder to go in, tap a file to download it.
4. To upload: go to the folder you want, tap Upload files and pick one or several. A bar shows the progress; if a file with that name is there already, the page asks before replacing it.
5. New folder and Delete do what they say. A folder must be empty to be deleted.
6. On the Cardputer, press Back. Sharing stops, and the code is no longer good.

What to expect

• About 200 KB a second: a 3 MB photo takes a quarter of a minute.
• One thing at a time. While a big file moves, the page waits.
• The device's screen shows how much has gone in and out, and the last thing that was asked.

Good to know

• It is not encrypted. Use it on a network you trust, or through the VPN.
• Five wrong codes close it for a minute.
• It works from a computer's browser too.
