There’s nothing more annoying than having to switch from PC to phone and then back again. Not only does it interrupt your flow of work, it also throws all kinds of distractions your way. Pick up your phone and there’s an exciting story on Facebook that you simply can’t ignore and the next thing you know, twenty minutes have passed by! Fortunately, AirDroid is here to help. By providing a remote management system for your Android phone, AirDroid enables you to integrate the main features of your phone onto your main PC or laptop, giving you instant access without too much delay or lag. Not only does that mean less distractions and time spent switching between appliances, it also gives you a complete keyboard with which to write messages, saving you the time and effort of fiddling with uncooperative touch screens. You can also browse through your phone’s files and use your mouse as a remote control. Better yet, when your Android receives a notification from any source, the desktop notifications feature allows you to open the message via a small floating window on your screen.
AirDroid is one of the leading integration systems available for Androids and operates effectively, despite having one or two drawbacks. AirDroid is available in two versions, one free and the other premium. The free version has enough going for it to noticeably increase your productivity. Operating wirelessly, this app enables you to transfer files between your devices, send and receive SMS messages, manage your phone’s applications and even utilise its camera functions. One of the other great features is that, should you misplace your phone, your computer will help you track the device, saving you lots of time and frustration. The premium version offers a few extras but whether it’s worth the expense depends on the individual’s requirements. Certainly, being able to connect to more devices is a bonus, as is the increased file transfer function and, if you’ve experienced cell phone theft once too often, the ability to photograph anyone trying to unlock your device might just clinch it for you! It hasn’t all been smooth running for AirDroid, however, and with file transfers temporarily using cloud space storage, there are certain security concerns. However, many of these issues have addressed in newer versions of the app and, given the ease with which this app can be downloaded and installed, it proves as popular as before, with literally millions of users worldwide. If you’re still concerned about security and privacy, you can disable certain notifications to protect any sensitive information you may feel is at risk.
