Random Pick: iTransfer Pro

iTransfer Pro

I often need to upload files from my iPhone or iPad directly to the web server. I have been using iTransfer (ad-supported version) for quite some times. I purchased iTransfer Pro considering how much I have been using the free/ad-supported version; the $3.99 price tag is worth it. iTransfer Pro is both iPhone and iPad optimized.

iTransfer Pro supports:

  • FTP/FTPS/SFTP
  • Network Drives
  • Dropbox
  • Box
  • SkyDrive
  • GoogleDrive
