Server & Hosting 9to5mac.com referring to its sources close to the company Apple published an article stating that the company is testing the operating system iOS 7 with direct file sharing feature using AirDrop, which Apple first introduced in OS X 10.7 Lion. In addition to the above feature, work is also underway on greater integration of the social network Flickr and the video server Vimeo. This should now allow computers to work with iPad tablets, mobile phones iPhone and iPod touch media players to share files over AirDrop. Of course, this also applies the other way around, and it will also be possible to share files between devices.
If the information in iOS 7 indeed confirms, this is another indication that the Apple does not really appreciate Bluetooth technology and preferred to send files via Wi-Fi. In the first phase, probably in the first version iOS 7, users should only be able to send files between a pair of devices with iOS, only later will the option to send and receive files between iOS and OS X. The new feature will fully replace iMessage, which most people currently use in addition to iCloudto share photos between individuals iOS products.
Apple This will now allow you to share files in a very simple way and with a function Airdrop probably integrates directly into the operating system settings iOS 7, it will not be a standalone application. Thanks to this, tablets and phones with the operating system will be iOS again a little more usable in companies where you workancand need to easily share multimedia content. Features AirDrop on OS X works very simply.

This may seem like an insignificant little thing, but I dare say it will be one of the top features. AirDrop on OS X completely blew USB, file transfer and file sharing in kancEláriach or just among friends is with AirDrop an incredibly luxurious affair.
Well, if it is airbustard in iOS that's gonna be a real blast..
I would see this being used especially when transferring recorded video from iPhone of the iPad.
Well, I can say for myself that I used the service once and that was for a test. Maybe if I had it on my mobile or even better if it could be used with another PC or Android.
if they could get through airdrop send videos/photos from PC to iphone and vice versa, I would like to
Majda – airdrop only works from osx to osx or even to windows?? thank you
Let me disagree with this sentence: "Once you're on the same Wi-Fi network with someone who has the feature enabled, you can send them a file by simply dragging and dropping the file onto their desktop icon."
Reason AirThe real downside is the lack of a wifi network and sending via wifi, which is temporarily created as Ad-Hoc right between 2 macbookmi. vid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirDrop
Using AirDrop, users can share files with other supported Mac computers running OS X 10.7 or later without the need of a Wi-Fi network or any configuration
I hope Sir Martin is right, because having to be on the same network would more or less kill the functionality.
Apple has always fought, or rather prevented, illegal copying of content. How will this be prevented in the case of such a service? It will work within one AppleID or other restrictions? How will it be treated if I don't give someone else an MP3 or a video in violation of copyright through this service?
Personally, I am a supporter of the attitude he has in this regard Apple, so I would be quite surprised if in the new iOS gave such "freedom". Anyway, on the other hand, I am quite annoyed by the copying from my iPhone to my iPad (photos, videos) within one AppleID and could someone think about it.
Jarys:
and on OS X it AppDo you mind? ;)
rumbaz:
apparently a different policy applies to OS X. iOS But it has always been strictly "closed" in this regard, so I'm surprised that such a change would occur.
I don't think it would Apple had a different policy. It's more about the fact that when designing iOS and the iPhone, they probably thought about what functions they would have at the beginning iPhone users could use and are gradually adding: MMS, Copy-paste, Siri, Navigation, Wireless sharing, etc.
rembraze:
maybe you're right, I think there's a different copyright policy for mobile devices in general. It has probably happened to you that some YouTube video that you played on your desktop computer tells you on your phone: "the video is not available for mobile devices". Is it because of a different view of the distribution of such a recording, i.e. a different view of copyright? I don't know, I'm not an expert and the question is more for a lawyer...
And can you imagine what "fukot" it will be if the 2013 products support the 802.11ac standard?
I'm looking forward to it.
Amnart: I think it's exclusively an OS X feature, correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt it, it's probably a privilege of OS X and macs with newer HW.
Jarys: I totally understand you, but I don't think it would be as open as you describe. In my opinion, you won't be able to spread something like music further, and it will only be for video and photos, plus something else could possibly be found. Finally also Cook he said that iOS will be a bit more open. I would mainly use it to copy videos, since everything is copied automatically via iCloud. I open the mac and the photos are already in iPhoto.
ha, Apple discovered the bike!
I will have what Nokia has been able to do for about 10 years iOS with great fame in 2013!!!! And so that they don't escape progress, they will only share photos and videos. If they don't have iOS central storage and file manager, both from Iphone and iPads are still just toys for "children". It's a shame to buy a thing for 20.000!!! and you can't drag and drop pdf, doc, dwg, etc. files (it works, but you have to buy some suitable software, or something with Android).
Rebelldan: yes, there are 3rd party apps for the existing functions... and even for free, you don't have to buy anything...
Rebelldan, it's sad that nokia is where it is when it knew it 10 years ago, I didn't even have a phone with a color display back then and nokia was already able to implement Wifi and not just any, but one that will be able to create its own wifi network with which it will be possible to send files. Back then, Nokia was probably sending the score from the Snake game :) and I also didn't know that Nokia sold computers that knew this, since it's not (so far unofficially) just iOS function. In addition, it is possible to send email attachments and dwg files using the official application from Autodesk...
Rebeldan:
mmmm, have you ever had the shop for 20.000 at least in your hand? ...or do you just judge by the discussion you read on iDnes in the mobile category, where there are a lot of smart people like you?
For example, have you ever heard of Dropbox?
AirUnfortunately, I have never used Drop. If it really works without us being on the same wifi network, then it would be iOS it was really worth it.
Revolutionary at AppI would also rather take it across platforms.
I have 2x iPhone, 1x iPad 3, MacBookPer!
So I know something about it. The fact that you need a 3rd party app for every basic crap is what really pisses me off. The files are scattered in x places: in the download program, in the editing program, in cloudu, then in that for profit etc.
If I didn't have so many thousand CZK in software over the years, then already Apple I don't have one. But I have to admit, when something is supposed to work, it works. But I'm not sure about the nerves. nestThe next shop will be with windows or android. IOS not really anymore.
Don't you mind that one app only exports to Google?Drive, next to Skydrive, others only to email, etc. If it weren't for Goodreader, it would be iOS unusable for work. I don't know if this is the user comfort. I would expect more from a hi-tech device.
And you what? iOs They praise it so much, I think they just make phone calls, look at pictures and surf the web. But they've never tried to do any real work with it!
Rebelldan: file manager? Why? iOS I chose it precisely because I don't have to deal with these things there. I don't have to deal with where my music is stored, where my videos and pictures are stored, I don't have to create subfolders with these files
Miko: An example in music: How long does it take you to make your own music selection of songs from several CDs? Select them in the collection, retag them all (or search for them in iTunes among thousands of others), transfer one single collection to iTunes. iOS. Wouldn't it be easier to upload it to a folder and play it? For example, I have music in AVPlayer and I play what I need, I drag the songs wherever I want and it doesn't matter what format. Via wifi from any computer. This is what today's technology should be able to do and not record more and more programs that take up memory. Hold on, commerce wins. And at Apple especially. And about koneI would rather not even elaborate on it. The hardware is great, but iOS it is terribly inefficient.
Rebeldan:
so start listeningchat music legally and you will have a much easier life ;)
I understand that when you steal music from the Internet, each song is in a different format, you have to re-tag it and make an album out of it manually, and that's a long process.
Rebeldan:
"...Requiring a 3rd party app for every basic piece of crap just pisses me off the most."
Yes, in Windows you have the painting function for example, but in OS X I will buy Photoshop... 3rd party applications are just a big advantage. When you integrate features into the system for which there is a separate App, those features will almost certainly not reach the quality of a 3rd party app. Above you wrote about "inventing the wheel", just that Apple it does not need to reinvent the wheel and follows the path of a simple system into which everyone installs everything they need. So they don't have to develop features into the OS when there's already been an app for that a long time ago.
I don't know what you do for a living, but for my job I iPhone, iPad, Air and the iMac fits perfectly and I would never go back to Windows did not return!!!
...I'll just add that what I've written here is of course not saying that Apple there is nothing to improve! …as in the field iOS, so on OS X.
Rebelldan: I doubt it's that simple. The file manager is already dead. Over time, it will only remain deep in the system, where the user will have no idea about it. The fact that you have music in the application Music, photos in Photo, etc. is the best thing that can be, than having different files scattered in folders and having subfolders in it and searching everything in that mess so that you can play something from that folder through some application. Quite a funny idea if the OS were to develop in the direction you describe, na iPhone we would have a folder and another one in it and I would search in some list by name for what I just want between photos, music and everything, this way it is much easier. What you describe is just a bad habit from windowsat…
