    I already post a reply there but I'm afraid it will get lost from all other replies. I have a solution for this. But only between BB10, playbook, android and pc.

    I sideload an android port called ES File Manager. Currently ES File Manager v1.6.2.5 works for both BB10 and playbook. It's a free program and android phones can download it from Google Play.

    On BB10 side, first you need to enable "Access using Wi-Fi" and set your "Identification on Network". For e.g. My device name is Sham-Z10, my Workgroup is Shampisang and my Username is Sham. My Wi-Fi Storage is 123456.

    For PlayBook, under "Storage & Sharing", enable both "File Sharing" and "Wi-Fi Sharing", then set your "Network Identification". For e.g. I set my Tablet Network Name as Sham-PB, Workgroup as Shampisang and username as Sham. Password Protect set to on and changed password to 123456.

    Under ES File Explorer, I set the app to always show tab so it's easy for me to navigate to either my Z10, my PB or my cloud services. ES File Explorer support most major cloud services such as Box, Dropbox, Sugarsync, Skydrive, Google Drive and more. You can transfer your files from yoir device to it too, vice-versa. But let's get back to file transfer between devices.

    I have a file on my PlayBook that I want to copy over to my Z10. So I opened up ES File Explorer on my Z10, I tap on the LAN tab and tap New. An option appears so I tap on Server, bringing me to another option to set. I leave Domain empty. My server, I keyed in the my device name which I had set earlier on which is Sham-PB. Username I set to Sham. Password 123456. Display as: Sham-PB. And press ok. Once done. I tap on Sham-PB and it'll bring to the directory of my PB and from there, I can find the directory of my files and choose which file I want to copy over. Thats it. Hope it helps.

    It's a nice way between personal devices, but Adam was more talking along the lines of sending to another person.

    For personal use, won't transferring media cards be faster?

    It's still can be done. If the other person is using a BB10 device or PlayBook. I just need to create the other party device credentials on my ES File Explorer. From my directory, I just copied over to theirs. It's easy to transfer or copy back and forth. Sometimes I trolled over my gf playbook amd copied over some random pornographic pics and accused her of being a pervert.

    Yes but that's not the point, the point is to be able to send to someone cross country etc, and not everyone will be able to load a android sideloaded application

    And thats where the NET tab came to play. ES File Explorer support quite a well known cloud services. For e.g. I have a shared folder on Dropbox with my friends. Whenever I want to share a video, I can just store it there. When it's sync, I can just sms/email them saying to check out the shared folder.
