In an announcement which underscores that transfer of files from your smartphones to computers, and vice versa, is set to become fairly convenient, popular iOS and Android app Bump has recently introduced a new version of its Web client which allows users to transfer their files to and from their computers.

With Bump's updated Web client, it will be possible to share everything - files, contact, photos, and videos - which users bump between two handsets with any computer; thanks to the updated Web client's universal compatibility with the Bump app on iOS and Android.

While Bump currently allows users to move their photos and other data from one handset to another, and also from a handset to a computer, the updated Web client will allow them to move their files back and forth from computers to handsets.

To put it differently, the updated Web client announced by Bump will enable users to easily save all the videos on their handset to the hard drive of their computer. In case they change their handset, they can back up all their contacts onto their computer, and subsequently reload them onto their new device.

Noting that the updated Web client will give users the ability to "take any file you have on your computer and instantly move it to your phone," Dave Lieb - co-founder and CEO of Bump - said: "One way to think about it is basically what we've done is turned your phone into an unlimited, always-with-you USB flash drive."
