AirDrop for Android to Mac, iPhone & Windows + Download [Year]!

Lately, I have seen a lot of complaints about AirDrop for Android. And to be honest with you, I don’t understand that. In the past few weeks, I have encountered zero missing features or bugs. I have been more than happy with this app. I had had zero issues with sending information to all devices. I will teach you how you can transfer files in between Android, iPhone, Windows & Mac flawlessly.

AirDrop for Android to the iPhone, does it work?

A lot of people were lately reporting that AirDrop for Android to iPhone is not working. And they were blaming it on new iOS, which is not valid. The reason why this does not work is that AirDrop is using Bluetooth via which it creates peer-to-peer Wi-Fi in between these two devices. I could go more in detail, but I genuinely don’t see the reason to. We all know that Androids Bluetooth is not compatible with the one iPhone is using. But I have found an excellent alternative for you.

How to transfer files from an Android device to an iPhone

You will do the same as you did in the last tutorial up to step 8, this is the final step you are going to do the same. After you are viewing the URL form the app on your Android, you will need to tap on the Upload button. After that, you will only select files that you would like to transfer to your iPhone. Once the uploading is done, all of these files are going to be in the iPhone file manager app. To have them on your iPhone, you will have to move them first from the file manager.

With this app, you will be able to wirelessly transfer pictures, videos, music, and much more.

AirDrop for Android to Mac

So far, I did not have time to test this. If this also does not work, please let me know in the comment section below this article. And I will find a way for you how you can do this with some alternative to AirDrop.

AirDrop for Android app download

If you would like to download this application, click here since this is the most stable version so far. The only missing feature of this apk is that AirDrop for Android to iPhone and other iOS is not working. But I have explained that a couple of paragraphs above and showed you how can you achieve the same results with a different app.

Which file transfer alternative apps in 2019 are worth it?

For Apple users, only this is nonsense to read. But if you happen to be one of those households where you have several devices and all of them are using different operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS AirDrop won’t be a viable option for you.

One of the easiest ways to do this, other than the app I have already shared with you. Is to set up shared folders. Of course, this is not nearly as good as AirDrop, but it will transfer files between your devices.

If you don’t want to do that, the other best alternative is to use Dropbox. It is effortless to set up in comparison to shared folders. The good thing is that Dropbox is compatible with all devices, and on all devices, it has an excellent interface. The only downside is that the free limit for storage on dropbox is only 2Gbs. But to be fair, that should be enough for you.

My last thoughts

If you have all your devices running on iOS and macOS, there is no reason to use anything else than the AD app. But if you have at least one android or windows device at your home. These alternatives I have presented to you might be the thing you are currently missing because we all know that AirDrop for Android is not there yet with the compatibility between all devices. I wish they were, and maybe soon, they will. But till then, we have to stick to these alternatives. I know it is not perfect. But this process which I have described, once you have done it at least once it will become second nature to you. And after 2 or 3 file transfers from iOS to Android or vice versa. You will be doing this so quickly, almost as fast as on AD application.
