Remote Files is available to both free and Pro Pushbullet users.
#Pushbullet app monthly limit update#
Perhaps the best news of all from this update is that both free and Pro account users can take advantage, although free users do have a limit in place:
As long as you have the Pushbullet extension installed in the Chrome browser, you can still access your Android files from any enabled smartphones right from the browser. While the option for accessing files on your desktop from an Android phone only exists for Windows users, Mac and Chrome users aren’t completely left in the dark. On the plus side, if both devices are online, it doesn’t matter where in the world they are, you’ll be able to get remote access.
If you’ve left an important file on your work computer and switched it off, this app won’t help you at all. On Windows desktop it’s a similar process just access the settings menu and check the box next to ‘Remote Files access’.Īs you’d expect, in order to work, both devices need to be online. Once installed on Android you can access it by sliding out the app drawer, tapping ‘Settings’ and then enable ‘Remote Files access’. To enable this new feature, you’ll need to download both the Pushbullet app for Android and desktop app for Windows. It’s a pretty great feature if you’re known to accidentally leave your phone at home, or leave a file on your work computer that you need at home… With the new update you’ll be able to access files on your phone from your computer, or vice-versa, even if you don’t have one of the devices with you. Just when you thought Pushbullet couldn’t get more useful, the company has updated its popular cross-platform app to include remote file browsing.
