MobiKin Assistant for Android

Android Transfer for Windows is a powerful program that lets you manage files on your Android device and transfer them to and from a Windows PC.

Android users who want a free option for managing their files, backing them up and restoring them as necessary will want to take Android Transfer for Windows out for a test-drive. This program works with both Android smartphones and tablets and with nearly any brand, although there apparently is an exception or two out there.

The approach that Android Transfer for Windows uses is both convenient and accessible. It defines a space on your PC storage of choice that’s organized just like your phone, with Apps, Contacts, SMS, Music, Photos, Videos, Books and so forth. It also shows you how much space you have available on your phone or tablet and how much is available in storage so that you can make easier decisions.

You can use this tool to load all kinds of media from your PC onto your Android device, including music, photos, videos and books. You can also transfer items from your phone or tablet to your PC to back up contacts, SMS messages, files and so forth. The program also serves as a file manager, so if you want to delete a file on your device or uninstall an app, you can do that.

In fact, Android Transfer for Windows provides some powerful tools for managing apps, and it even integrates directly with Google Play for easy downloading and installation. Install, uninstall and back up apps with just a single click. Have a valuable app you only use once in a blue moon? Back it up to PC, uninstall it from your Android and then, reinstall it from your PC when needed rather than re-downloading it from Google Play.

App backup and restoration can even be handled in batches, and contacts can be edited on a per-item basis, which is nice if you use this program to share contacts among multiple devices. The program also supports USB debugging, which helps you know why if something goes wrong, and will even walk you through enabling it on your device. One downside to this application is that all backups and restorations must be performed manually since there is no sync mechanism.

Pros

• Works with nearly all Android devices
• Backup and restore contacts, apps and more

• No sync
