The days are gone when you needed
to connect your device to your PC using cables to transfer files as much
convenient options have now become available. With the connectivity
options like WiFi, you can transfer files fro and to your device without
using cables at a faster transfer rate. You don’t need to buy any
expensive accessory to do that, you just need an app and fortunately,
the app’s available at free of cost. So, let’s see how you can share
your device’s files over WiFi using the app.
I. Before You Begin:
1. Both your PC and your device must be connected to the same WiFi network.
II. Downloading Required Files:
1. AirDroid (Google Play Link)
III. Sharing Your Android Device’s Files over WiFi:
1. Download and install the AirDroid app on your device.
2. Once installed, launch it from your App Drawer.
3. It’ll show a tour for the first time users, just skip it.
4. Now, you’ll see an IP address and a password in the app. Note them down.
5. Open a Web Browser on your PC and type in the IP address you got in previous step.
6. You’ll then be asked to enter the password. Just input the password you got in step-4.
7. Hit the Enter button on your keyboard.
8. And you’re done!
Great! You’ll now be able to copy files
from your device to your PC and vice versa. The transfer rate would be
as fast as if you were copying files from one drive to another on your
PC!
