playing files from mobile phone on Beam G1

When updating the beam generation 1 and using the latest app, the facility to play locally downloaded files is not available.

I downgraded back the Beam back to the previous software version. I also downloaded the Sonos S1 app. I had to factory reset the Beam and add it via the Sonos S1 app.  I was then able to play files on my mobile direct to the beam.

Has anyone found a way to easily play local files on the Beam via the Sonos app (not the Sonos S1 app)?

 

Thanks

Thanks saw that but as Beam doesn't have Bluetooth for sending files it was not helpful.  The NAS option sounds too complicated.

I downloaded the Sonos S1 app yesterday so they have not removed it yet thankfully.  I guess I won't be uninstalling the old app.
