[Help & FAQ] File Transfer

File transfer is a feature introduced in AirDroid 3.0, it allows you to share files between your Androids, your Android and PC/Mac. You can even share files with your friends and nearby devices!

To use this feature, you need to sign in to AirDroid with the same AirDroid account on your Android, AirDroid Windows/Mac first. (How to install AirDroid for Win/Mac?)

On Android, it's shown as below:



On Windows, it's shown as below:



1. How to transfer files between devices

Re: [Help & FAQ] File Transfer

im a bonus user but CAN NOT transfer folders. Im trying to drag & drop folder from PC to device but it fails & a pop up msg says folder transfer is only for bonus and premium users. I know this which is why I shared on facebook to become bonus user. Ive signed out & back in my devices & PC & my user status says "bonus" so what the problem here?

OK, Now I can move the folder via PC to my other devices however on the folder an icon says: "Folder not supported by remote transfer yet".Its been this way for 24hrs. WTF!! I want an answer please. I shared with all my FB friends to be able to use this feature. Perhaps I will have to let them know not to waste their time with this app.

Re: [Help & FAQ] File Transfer

Just to clarify. What I mean by the below post is the app on my PC shows allows me to drop the folder in to another device bit then I get the error msg so the dragged folder its not actually appearing on my other devices. "OK, Now I can move the folder via PC to my other devices however on the folder an icon says: "Folder not supported by remote transfer yet".Its been this way for 24hrs. WTF!! I want an answer please.

I dont understand your reply? Can you be clearer please? Ive dragged folders of audio from PC to other device using PC app. Where are they on the device? I dont see the folders. The msg Im getting from the PC app is "Folder not supported by remote transfer yet." I wish i could post a screen shot.

Re: [Help & FAQ] File Transfer

When I first downloaded the app (and bought the premium service) I was able to send pics from my phone to my computer using a local connection. Now, it ALWAYS fails and I have to use a remote connection. Is there a fix to this?

Re: [Help & FAQ] File Transfer

Has anyone gotten an answer to this? I have been trying for weeks now to do a local transfer but it keeps forcing me to do a remote connection. Both the phone and the computer are on the same network.

@jodi @kevin taylor

If you're a bonus user, you can send folder in local connection mode. Can you make sure that the connection mode is local? If you've confirmed but still can't send folder, pls attach a screenshot of it. Thanks!

And you can send folder via AirDroid Web on Chrome. More details: [Help & FAQ] AirDroid Web - Files
