2. All-in-one file management From the desktop client or the web client web.airdroid.com, you can check up and manage photos, videos, music, apps, storage, and more on your devices. You can even automatically sync and upload your photos & videos to your PC, that way you can not only save up your device's storage but also avoid the risk of having your privacy leaked.
3. Screen Mirroring Mirror your Android devices to pc wirelessly so that you can share your screen with your students or partners. You can also stream your broadcast with AirDroid, to share your games or pictures with your audience more efficiently. Screen mirroring doesn't require the phones and the computer to be on the same network. A practical solution for various scenarios.
4. Remote Control Android devices You can take full control of your Android devices, without rooting your devices, just need to connect to the AirDroid PC client for a fast setting, to do whatever you want to do on your Android devices remotely, ex, play games, open an app, check the phone status. Remote control for AirDroid is easy to set up and runs smoothly even if your device is on the other side of the globe. *If you need to remote control an Android device from another Android device, you need to download AirMirror for the controller device.
5. Remote Monitoring Make use of unused Android phones and have them be your eyes by using the remote camera feature. Monitor the device surroundings, or listen in on environmental sounds with One-Way Audio, so you don't need to stay on the screen at all times. You can check in on newborns and pets or safeguard your home, all without spending extra on new cameras.
5. Notifications & SMS Management AirDroid helps you focus on work by letting you manage the phone right from your computer. You can receive and send texts, connect to headsets, enter or copy the phone number and make the call right from the computer. The Notification feature allows you to sync your phone's app notifications (such as WhatsApp, Line, and Facebook Messenger) to the computer, and you can directly reply to them on your desktop. Important messages are always up-to-date.
6. Make calls on PC You can import phone numbers in bulk directly on the AirDroid desktop client, click to call, and talk to your customers or friends through the handset or Bluetooth headset of the phone. AirDroid helps you avoids the trouble of manually entering phone numbers on mobile phones and possible errors, and improves your efficiency.
FAQs: Q: Do I have to register an account to use AirDroid? A: With an AirDroid account, you can enjoy all the features under the local and remote connection. If you don't want to register, you can use AirDroid under the same wifi with limited features.
Q: Does AirDroid free to use? A: You can use AirDroid for free under the local area network. When running under a non-local network, the free account has a 200MB/month data limit and cannot use the remote camera.

Comments on AirDroid: File & Remote Access for Android
★★★★★A Google user· Jul 14, 2026
Came for file transferring, stayed for the other features that come with it. Virus scanner and the booster are AWESOME!!! 2026 update: somehow got here for file transferring again and don't remember this initial review. That said, this app is something to be proud of - browser based sharing is seamless. 10/10 you all.
★★★★★Meanhiltonmy· May 12, 2026
Great app! I can transfer my data to other devices easily, just connect it with same Wi-Fi, and you can transfer any data in high speed
★★★★☆Aapka Nikhil· May 26, 2026
Big Issue :- When we start the remote control, is sent to lso, whereas this was not the case earlier, as soon as the other person touches the remote control, the screen of the other mobile gets shared, but now as soon as we touch the remote control, a notification goes to the other mobile about screencasting, which was not there before, so I request all of you team to fix this bug because when the other person comes to know, then what will Please fix the bug otherwise I will shift to another app
★★★★☆David Young· Jul 12, 2026
Can't view anything from Android devices. I can access everything via the web interface, but on both my phone and my tablet there's nothing available about other devices. Does work though.
★★★★★Felisha Lish· Jul 9, 2026
I use this app to send files, photos, etc. to my iPad. It works well. Easy to use. I have tried other apps that could send files to iPad but did not work. Thankful for Air droid.
★★☆☆☆Jesse· Jul 5, 2026
I'm rating it purely on camera sharing. The app is otherwise very well-made. Very low quality camera sharing for galaxy fold to galaxy s20 ultra. Not picky-low, I mean flip phone from 20 years ago low quality. Makes you create an account to test which was annoying as the end result was clearly a non-starter. Just being up front about the camera quality feature purposely downgraded to save cloud fees, pre-account creation, would have saved a bad rating or gained a good rating.
