Help Nexus 7 and Airdroid - does it work ok and is it easy to set up?

It's pretty easy:

1. Download/install Airdroid on Nexus 7

2. Ensure your computer and Nexus 7 are on the same Wifi Network.

3. Go to AirDroid on your computer.

4. Start Airdroid on your Nexus 7 and follow the instructions.

5. From there you should be able to upload and download files as you want. The UI can take a bit to get use to but it isn't hard at all.

Thanks harmless. Do I install Airdroid on my PC too?
No. Once you open it on your tab, it will point you towards a web address. Just go to that address in your PC's browser, enter the security code that AirDroid provides, and hit enter.

And are we talking about the same wireless network not computer network?

In this context, they are one and the same. The wifi network that the tab is connected to needs to be accessible by the pc because the pc will connect to the tab using the local (internal) IP address for the tablet.

Thought I'd share this considering it might be appropriate. If you are looking for a way to transfer files to the nexus 7 and have a pc with internet connection. Which I'm assuming you do due to your questions about airDroid. Then i want to recommend this app to you. Its almost exact to an app called "awesome drop" that apparently no longer works. Anyhow this works excellent.

Enjoy!
