Airmore also works like Sweech but offers a much better UI, and more functionality as you can access apps, backup apps, messages, add items to the phone’s clipboard, take a screenshot or enable screen-recording on the phone directly from the PC.

Clipt

This app comes from the house of Oneplus, and it is a little different as it uses Google Drive to copy and paste things between your phone and PC. It is like a bookmark list of your important things, so that you can find it right in front on your PC, and don’t miss anything.

So this is how you can share data between your phone and PC/Mac or even between two phones. I use Sweech every day, but I also liked AirMore, as it doesn’t require any other software on PC, and offers more features. While Clipt is a really handy app for data transmission between multiple devices. Do let us know which one you like the most, and why? in the comments down below.
