Excess Mobile Data Use

According to the app, it has used about 2 MB in the last two weeks. According to the Android system, it has used 210 MB. The history shows an average mobile usage of over 500 MB/month for the last few months. I'm inclined to believe the system. It's under the graph showing total mobile data usage this billing period.

At least, I assume that's mobile data. That's the menu entry I used to find that. OTOH, under Wi-Fi, it also shows around 500 MB in the last month. Is it combining those, even when I chose the Mobile Data menu entry?

I don't see an option to not send data over mobile. I only ever want to use this when I'm on my home network. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Drake

Re: Excess Mobile Data Use

I have the same issue.

Mobile data use in Feb-Mar was 46.9 MB, in Mar-Apr this went up to 3.22 GB, Apr-May was 3.14 GB and with 1 week left of May-Jun, AirDroid has used 7582 MB.

AirDroid runs on my computer which is on all the time, but my phone is connected to WiFi most of the time and I haven't used AirDroid recently.

What is AirDroid doing? It has access to everything on my phone and I'm not transferring any data to my computer.

We're going away shortly and I can't afford to pay expensive roaming charges so I'm going to have to remove it.

Re: Excess Mobile Data Use

Same here. I am not interested in receiving notifications or messages when I am not in front of my computer. When I am at my location, the phone, a Google Pixel 2, is connected by WiFi. Yet Airdroid uses a lot of mobile data.

This has to stop. Now. Either this is solved, or I uninstall, and will make sure to report in all forums this major flaw.
