Bump, actually. The other day was trying to transfer files and contact info and it's still an annoyance.

I came here to say this. Nowadays I use magic-wormhole and nitroshare, but when it comes to transferring Android to Android, Bump was the easiest.

I'm pretty sure Google bought them, and I was hoping they would actually do something with the technology, but nothing ever came of it.

There was a discussion the other day that the Bump team merged into Google Photos, which is certainly a creditable application, but not maybe as distinctive as Bump was.

Sort of tragic that the company folded, could have been a nice lifestyle app for someone I think.
