AirDroid 2.0
A few months ago we told you about AirDroid, an application with a very interesting concept. And it is that this app allows us to control the Android mobile or smartphone through the computer, without the need for cables and with a series of very useful options. Those responsible for this tool have released a new version that completes the functionality of AirDroid with a series of key features, such as the possibility of wipe phone or tablet data remotely (in case of loss or theft) or the ability to take photos through the front camera even when it is turned off.AirDroid 2 is now available for free download via the Google Store
Let's start with the news. The main improvements that have come to this app are specifically directed to the field of security. For example, once we connect this application with the browser we can use the camera software directly from the computer. And that even when we keep the camera off,a very interesting function if our phone is stolen and we want to take a snapshot of the thief. Photos can be taken both through the front camera and the rear camera. Of course, at the moment there are some operating problems when using this tool.
Another security function that we find is that of locating the device through the application. Again, we have experienced some issues when using this tool, which can be crucial in the event of a loss and theft. The last of the three features that have been added that address security is the option to erase all data on your phone or tablet and return it to its normal state of fabric. A drastic but necessary option in the case of saving personal information and important files inside the mobile.
In addition to these options, AirDroid 2 has implemented the general performance of the platform, with a somewhat more visually appealing interface. The tool for sending SMS directly from your computer has also been improved. The AirDroid app connects your device directly to your computer wirelessly via a modern browser. This app manages some phone functions such as contacts or making calls (once a call is started it is made through the smartphone).
But where AirDroid is most useful is in its ability to function as a media player User can listen to songs or view videos from the device directly on the computer without leaving the web interface through the integrated player. Another outstanding function is to transfer files directly to the phone (also from the device to the computer) This option can be carried out by simply dragging the file or folder from the browser to the browser screen. From our experience, the file transfer is done with remarkable speed and you can choose the folder to which you want to send it. AirDroid 2 is available for free at Google Store
