Portal, By Pushbullet, Sends Large Files Between Devices Over Wi-Fi

Pushbullet is one of our favourite apps for bridging the gap between your devices. Now, the company is going even further with a new app called Portal that can transfer files directly between your devices over Wi-Fi.

Unlike a tool like Dropbox, Portal doesn’t need to upload your files to a third-party server, so the transfers are quick and direct. While Pushbullet itself is technically capable of transferring small files, the company itself admits this isn’t very reliable. Portal requires that both devices in the exchange be on the same Wi-Fi network, but the trade off is that Pushbullet claims you can send files over 1GB in size reliably.
