You can easily connect your PC and the phone or tablet with the help of AirDroid. Even though both your devices are on the similar Wi-Fi network, there are two methods that you can follow to connect your devices together.

Step 1 Install AirDroid App on Your Android Phone

The first thing you will have to do is to download the application. Then, you will have to fire up AirDroid and open the app to showcase a local IP address. Then, you will have to simply input the IP address into the web browser of your desktop. Then, both the computer and the phone will showcase an accept or reject message.

Then choose a location to save the files on Android SD card. You can now add file or folder to the phone via the buttons displayed on the upper right corner. After the transfer is completed, you can find the files on that folder.

In early days that I went with Android, AirDroid is my favorite apps for file transfer between Android and PC. It is indeed great for certain types of file transfer. But it lacks features for contacts or text messages. That is the reason why I recommend Android Manager in first place. This program has more features and it is one of the greatest apps for Android users.
