Availability: Discontinued
Author: Code Sector Inc.

Sony-Ericsson SendFile was a lightweight file transfer utility for sending files from a Windows PC to Sony Ericsson mobile phones. It supported Bluetooth, infrared (IrDA), and USB connections using the OBEX protocol, letting you drag and drop MP3s, images, ringtones, and themes directly onto your phone.

What it did

The program added itself to the Windows Explorer right-click menu (Send To). You selected files - MP3 music, JPEG photos, MIDI ringtones, or phone themes - right-clicked, chose SendFile, and the transfer started over your chosen connection method. It supported batch transfers of multiple files in sequence.

At 423 KB, it was minimal software for a simple task. No phone management features, no sync - just one-way file sending to the handset. It worked with popular models like the T68i, K700i, and W-series Walkman phones.

Who it was for

This was for Sony Ericsson phone owners in the 2003-2010 era who wanted to put music, photos, or ringtones on their handset without heavy PC suite software. The Sony Ericsson brand ended in 2012, and modern smartphones use USB mass storage, MTP, or cloud sync for file transfers.
