'Portal enables you to transfer many files or very large files in a snap, but requires that your phone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network,' the company said. 'Portal and Pushbullet have a different set of strengths and we think you'll appreciate having the choice,' Pushbullet said in a blog post. Unfortunately, you will have to install a separate app to benefit from the new features, as Pushbullet did not bake Portal's capabilities directly into the Pushbullet app (and extension). There are plenty of other apps that perform a similar task, but Pushbullet is hoping that Portal will be come the default choice for those who are already a fan of Pushbullet's regular PC-to-phone features. Instead, it's an Android app that simplifies the process of getting files from a PC to your smartphone. Pushbullet's Portal, in contrast, has nothing to do with bending the laws of physics. Here's hoping Pushbullet doesn't get sued by Valve since the name Portal is currently synonymous with its popular, puzzle-based video game.
