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. We recommend that you upgrade to premium to enjoy unlimited remote data and unlock all functions and services.

Ratings and reviews

This "Remote Access" is really only included if you pay for the premium version. It's customizable but requires lots of additional verification and is relatively slow for Android users. Honestly, Windows Phone Link is better, though less capable in terms of mirroring. Phone link is free and works much more seamlessly for the notifications and messaging. Airdroid requires that you change the input method to a keyboard (which also requires a device addon) before it will even let you type.

I've been using AirDroid for a few years now and was a lifesaver when needing to transfer files across devices when a cable transfer was not an option. It has worked across 2 different iPhone, 2 different androids an a laptop. It can sometimes be glitches but I've never had a major problem beyond needing to close out the app and restart, and the reason for 4 stars. Overall, it's a handy app that does what it says and which I use fairly often.

Not intuitive. Once you figure it out, you can't send just one file that exceeds 30mb (after an unnecessarily lengthy sign up process). Almost everyone who wants to use this will exceed 30mb. They know this. If a user can't test the capabilities, the adoption rate will remain low. Recommendation: save time and pass.
