Frustrated with the process of
moving photos from your iPhone to your computer? Bump says it has the
answer.
The company, whose
app allowing users to swap contacts and photos between mobile devices has been
downloaded more than 60 million times, unveiled its newest tool, one that makes
transferring photos from an iOS or Android device to a
computer as easy as bumping that device against the computer's spacebar.
The key to the new feature is that
it requires no software installation on the computer. Instead, it works through
users' browsers -- Chrome, Firefox, and Safari -- and the Bump mobile app. Once
a user loads Bump's Web site and the app, they select the photos they want to
move, and tap their phone against their spacebar. The photos appear on the
computer instantaneously.
When the photos appear on the computer, there are a couple of
options. One is to download the photo to the computer's hard drive. The other
is to create a sharable link to the photo or photos. That means that it's easy
to take a group of photos at an event, quickly transfer them later to a
computer, and then send a link to everyone who was at the event.
The new tool works much the same way Bump has all along: It
correlates the location of both devices when the app is running and in this
case, when the spacebar is tapped, it knows that it's supposed to move photos
stored on the mobile device to Bump's hosted Web site.
Users of Bump's existing iOS and Android apps will have to
download the latest updates in order for the new service to work.
