AirDroid - File Transfer&Share

I’m surprised at the people who rated high. Maybe it’s their own people. This is a waste of time. Downloaded and linked my laptop, can see only the images, not videos. Downloaded an image from my phone to laptop but can’t open it. It asks to install an extension which you have to buy from the Microsoft store. Only thing I could do it upload a pic from laptop to phone, which you can send by WhatsApp or email and may be faster. I don’t believe I wasted so much time on this. I wish I could rate 0, but the minimum is 1.

Went to all the trouble of getting the two AirDroid apps and then visiting the site on my computer. Went to try and send myself anything but need to link my devices for no real good reason. I get confronted with a pop up telling me I can’t set the app up to work unless I’m using chromeOS. There’s an alternative button option saying it’ll use http instead of https to sync but then you pick that option and it reloads and warns you about needing chromeOS again putting you in a perpetual loop about needing chromeOS. Can I even use this app to just text msgs to my other device to begin with? I have no way to know for certain. Far too much work just to get bugged into a loop.

Seems like a great replacement for Pushbullet which discontinued their iOS app. Only thing I’m missing is the ability to quick share links from Chrome. I have to currently copy the link from Chrome, close Chrome, open AirDroid, select Desktop, paste and send. Needs to be a quick share option.
