Purpose

Enable your Windows Store app to transfer files to and from locations on the web. JavaScript implementation options include XHR and Background Transfer.

Background Transfer is primarily designed for long-term transfer operations for resources like video, music, and large images. For a high-level look at Background Transfer, see Transferring data in the background. XHR is recommended for short-term operations involving transfers of smaller resources (i.e. a couple KB).
