I just installed AirDroid on the Samsung Galaxy S3, and tested it out. On single files, it seems to work exactly like Kies Air does, only with the AirDroid desktop being more intuitive than Kies Air's desktop: http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/13140997/img/13140997.png The good news is that transferring the entire set of files was as simple as checking a checkbox (as was Kies Air); but, the better news is that it actually worked (as opposed to Kies Air failing every time): http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/13141006/img/13141006.png Note: AirDroid, by default, creates a single zip file, apparently to get around the multiple-file restriction that fells Kies Air every time. The bad news is that transferring select files was an exercise in futility, simply because the standard shift key (to select blocks of photos) is apparently not implemented, and scrolling from file to file would take the rest of your lifetime to get through the 300 pictures that I have snapped on the Samsung Galaxy S3, it's that slow: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/13140995/img/13140995.png In summary: a. AirDroid works, for single or multiple pictures, & is simple to use! b. Use AirDroid for single pictures or small sets of contiguous pictures c. Don't even attempt to download select (dispersed) photos! d. Downloading the entire set of pictures is far easier, albeit slow. Thanks for the AirDroid tip!
