Guide: How To Use Mi Drop with Windows OS
Mi Drop started as an app for Xiaomi phones before it is released as a standalone app. It is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file transfer app that works between mobile appliances. What makes Mi Drop different is that it is free and does not bombard you with ads. That alone makes it worthwhile to regularly exchange files between phones or on a computer. Today tutorial is it going to show you how to Use Mi Drop with a Windows PC. Xiaomi is a Chinese technology manufacturer that makes quite a bit of it phones. They make the Mi 8 and Mi 8 Pro and a lot of other handsets. Their USP delivers good quality hardware at a reasonable price and their Mi 8 Pro has been well reviewed so far. Mi Drop was developed as part of the suite of apps for that phones but proved popular enough to release on its own. Available on Android from the Google Play Store, it’s free and works quite well. Although designed as a P2P app, you can quickly transfer files from Windows PC to Android phone. Handy if you still use the app and want to keep it simple. The advantage of using Mi Drop instead of drag & drop is speed. FTP is many times faster than Bluetooth or standard file transfers between Windows and Android, so if you’re transferring large or multiple files it might be worth checking out.
Use Mi Drop with a Windows PC
In order for Mi Drop to work with a PC, we need to use FTP on Windows and Mi Drop on your phone. It is relatively easy to set up up and once you know what to do it only takes seconds to do it again. You need Mi Drop on you phone and a WiFi compatible PC to make this work. This is a simple process that is very helpful if you don’t have your USB cable to hand. It provides the same utility as connecting your phone to your PC via cable but wireless. It is useful if you often transfer or manually restore files up images or videos.
You can take it a step further if you wish and use an FTP program such as FileZilla. You can use the phone up as an FTP connection and use fast file transfers in the same way. Windows Explorer works fine, of course, but an FTP app has the advantage of being able to resend failed transfers, queue multiple transfers, and is much better than Windows at FTP. Mi Drop does not require a username and password as it creates a dynamic FTP address. If for some reason Filezilla doesn’t allow connection, you can add a password to make it work. Filezilla was fine without a username and password when I tested it, but using a secure connection can be useful if you live in a shared or dorm home, just in case. Mi Drop is especially useful for those who don’t always have their USB cable at hand and who transfer a lot of files. You can also use it to transfer files between Android devices, but that’s a completely different thing tutorial! Have you used Mi Drop? Like it? Do you have any suggestions for alternative apps?
