    WebSharing

    ZDNet UK is now recommending an App of the Day. It seems only polite, now we have our own app, to take a deeper look at this lively area of mobile tech — and, of course, we'll do it with the needs of enterprise IT at the top of the list.

    Sign up to our News Update email to receive our daily recommendations. Alternatively, check out our weekly round-up of the best mobile apps:

    1. WebSharing File/Media Sync
    There are plenty of utilities for moving files between phone and computer, but this one scores highly. Working over Wi-Fi, WebSharing File/Media Sync has the usual web interface to drag and drop targets, but it also has streaming for media files and WebDAV, which lets you mount your phone under Windows as a normal drive. Lite version is free on Android; full version is £1.81.

    3. Cloud Print
    Working with Google Cloud Print, this app links any printer your PC knows about to your Google account, and lets you print documents from your phone wherever you are. Works from specific apps such as SMS and Mail, and from apps, like the browser, that support Android's Share feature. Still in beta, but it's reliable and the developer is responsive.
