These apps will give you better control over your
mobile device from the comforts of your PC!
This is the age of
connectivity. We randomly switch from
smartphone to tablet to computer many times
every single day, so much so that sometimes we
feel to settle down and simply have more control
over mobile device from the computer only. Good
news is that there are quite a few apps to help
you transfer control from Android device to
computer.
Here are 10 cool apps to connect your computer
to Android devices:
1. AirDroid
AirDroid is a very easy method to wirelessly
transfer files between your Android device and
desktop. Once connected, you can use the web
interface to view photos/videos, send text
messages, even move or delete files in your
android device. This pure web app works on
Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Linux.
2. Airstream
Effective app to stream all files present on your
desktop to any android device whatsoever. It
allows you to access not just your songs and
videos but anything for that matter from your
computer. With AirStream your Computer
becomes your personal cloud. AirStream supports
PC, MAC or linux.
3. Polkast
Instead of storing your files over the cloud,
Polkast will create a 'secret tunnel' between your

for easy and secure access to your files. You can
also search anything on your computer using your

4. Desktop Notifications
This app allows you to have the notifications from

your computer.

notifications to your computer while dismissing

notification. Tapping on the notification instantly
opens the file.

it takes is a simple copy and paste. Also available
