Access Phone's Content from any PC through Wi-fi

When I bought my first Android device, I used to transfer my files, music and videos through a USB cable I got with the handset. It was very frustrating to attach the cable and then the slow speed of data transfer. Then I started using Dropbox to transfer files till I came to know about AirDroid. This awesome app lets you connect your phone to PC through Wi-fi and not just your PC, to any PC till your phone and the PC are in the same wi-fi network. Let's see how.

What is AirDroid?

AirDroid like other Android apps, is an app which runs on your Android device. This app lets you access all your files, music, videos and even your messages, apps and call logs. You can manage all the content on your Android from your PC from playing songs, transferring data, watching videos to sending text messages and taking screenshots.

How Do I Connect my Phone?

Connecting your phone is super simple. All you need to have is a Wi-fi connection, an Android device, AirDroid app (download), a web browser and a good heart. To connect your device,

1. Switch on the Wi-fi and connect both your PC and device to it. PC can be connected with ethernet too but on the same modem.
2. Open the AirDroid App on your Android device.
   
   
   
3. Open http://web.airdroid.com on your favourite web browser.
   
   
   
4. Scan the QR code on your computer's screen or feed the code you see on your device.
5. Wait for some time.

You will get connected. A virtual desktop will get created on your browser from where you can access the phone.

What Can I Access?

You may access the following from your phone:

• Messages: Read and send text messages.
• Call Logs: See who called you or who you called.
• Contacts: Add, remove or edit contacts.
