No app account or cloud storage is required. LOCAL FILE TRANSFERS • Discover compatible devices on your local network. • Send selected files, folders, media and text. • Review incoming requests before accepting them. • Use TLS encryption and optional PIN protection. • Share selected files through a local browser link or QR code. • Search and filter your received-file history. Your devices must be able to reach each other on the local network. iOS Local Network permission is needed to discover and communicate with nearby devices. Keep the app open during transfers. Availability depends on the network, the receiving device and access to the files you select. FREE FILE TRANSFERS AND OPTIONAL ANNUAL PRO File transfers and core features remain free.

PRIVACY AND ADVERTISING Transfers go directly between your devices; this app does not upload transferred files or text to cloud storage or use their contents for ad targeting. The free app uses Google AdMob. Ads do not interrupt discovery, incoming approval, active transfers, retries or errors. Advertising consent and tracking permission are optional and do not restrict transfers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AirDroid Browser at none against File Transfer's 1. AirDroid Browser also leads on ads (none vs shown). File Transfer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 29 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
