Install Airdroid App for File Transfer
Feb 19, 2016 1:39AM PST

Hi,

When you want to transferring files from your android device to other mobile device, Bluetooth or USB cable is the most commonly used medium. They work absolutely fine but there is a better way to do it.

With the connectivity options like Wifi, you can transfer files from and to your Android device without using cables at a faster transfer rate than Bluetooth. you just need an app called Airdroid that you can download for free at Google Play Store.

Airdroid is one of the highest rated apps in the market that can be both used to receive and send files wirelessly between your two Android device.

direct file transfer with an app

Have you found the best solution yet? If not, better try a phone transfer app. Here's one I'm using, Apowersoft Phone Transfer (I incorporated the dl link below, just in case you can't find the app). With this, you can transfer pictures, videos, musics, contacts, and docu files. The app is free of charge too so there'll be no limitations.
