- After that, Clipt will ask you to link your Google Drive to it. Now, sign in with your Google account. Note that the Google account you link with Clipt on your smartphone should be the same as the account you use in your desktop browser.
- Once you have successfully linked your Google account, tap on Install on other devices.
- It will ask you which browser or device you want to connect to. Select the correct option. If you choose a browser, it will display a link to the browser extension. If you select other devices, such as a phone or tablet, it will display a QR code to scan.
Your phone is ready. Now, it's time to set up your other device.
- For iOS or Android, set up the app as above, using the same Google account. Then scan the QR code when prompted.
- For a desktop or laptop, type the displayed link into Chrome. Install the extension and link it to the same Google account, and that's it. You have set up your browser as well.
How to Share Your Clipboard
To copy your content from one device and send it to the other, simply copy some text on your smartphone, and from the notification bar, tap Send.
The content received by the desktop device is automatically copied to its clipboard so that you can access it easily. You can also access the content from the Clipt extension menu.
To share your clipboard from PC to Android, select the text, right-click on it, and press Clipt selection. It will automatically transfer the content into the Android app and copy it to its clipboard.
You can also send content such as music, images, videos, and files from your phone. Open the app on your Android phone and tap on the Add button at the bottom. Now, select your file from the file manager or image gallery, and it will send it to your PC straight away.
If you don't want to use this app, there are also other ways to share files from PC to Android.
Share Your Clipboard Across Devices
Clipt is a great solution that will boost your productivity and save you a lot of time. It has a pretty fast sending and receiving speed. If you share your content across devices using mail or instant messenger, it is inefficient and bloats your email and messengers.
Clipt makes it easy for you to send any kind of file across devices within seconds. This guide will help you with the app's installation and configuration and its effective usage.
