If you are worried about deleting important information from your Android device, you may wish to simply transfer it up to your computer to keep it. Or you may simply want to transfer the photos from your day at the beach onto your computer.

However, due to the open nature of the Google Android operating system, there are several software available that aim to help you manage your Android device through your computer. In this article, we will look at some of the best Android software management software available. Note that all the software enables you to connect Android to PC for file transfer, as well as allowing the selection of specific files onto your computer. But, some are better than other.

Wondershare Dr.Fone also features other helpful tools, such as the De-Duplicate option, which automatically scans all your contacts for any repetitions, which is always a nuisance (you often end up with duplicate contacts if you sync your contacts with Facebook, as well as already having them on your device, for example).

As with other data management software, you can download and install apps onto your Android device from your PC. The advantage of this is that apps can be downloaded quickly, and also without costing you in terms of data roaming charges.

A neat feature is the ability to uninstall apps that came preloaded on the phone as often we find ourselves with apps that we never use that we cannot delete.

As with Mobogenie, once you are on the software, it is fairly easy to navigate around, and you can do everything from sending SMS from your PC to transferring apps and contacts. However, a drawback is that the management of your music requires you to have all your MP3 files on your PC and move them on to the software- not extremely inconvenient, but as we will see much easier solutions exist.

We recommend the use of Wondershare Dr.Fone, as it is more reliable and provides a simple user-friendly interface that allows you to manage your Android device with ease. You can also transfer files between Android and Mac easily.
