Windows Phone 8 and iOS are perhaps the two most locked down smartphone ecosystems at the moment. Neither platform has a file manager and both restrict access to the file system. You can share files through the Internet, using e-mail or cloud based services like Dropbox. This is a fairly cumbersome method to share a file between two devices in the same room though.
And of course, this means that you are uploading and downloading a file needlessly, which can cost you both time and money if you don't have an unlimited data connection at home.
There are however, some apps that allow you to simply use a local Wi-Fi network to share files, but even these come with some limitations. You can send most files from iOS to Windows Phone, but you won't be able to send most files the other way round; from Windows Phone, you're limited to photos, videos and text chats (to
easily copy and paste a phone number, for example).
1. Download Feem on both iOS and Windows Phone devices.
2. Ensure that the iOS and Windows Phone devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Open Feem on both devices.
4. Wait for the app to scan for peers. All devices running Feem on the network will show up in a list.
5. Now tap the right arrow icon on the left.
6. You will see a list of folders on the right. Select the files you want to send, from this list. This will be default be limited to pictures and videos in your photo gallery.
7. Tap the right arrow icon above the ad at the bottom.
8. Select the device from the list of peers. Now Feem will start sending files.
