Pink Fire Pointer Update: Sharing the Clipboard between iOS and Windows

Update: Sharing the Clipboard between iOS and Windows

A while back I wrote a post on various apps and hacks that allow you to share text and images easily between an iPhone and your laptop or desktop PC (click here). Since that time, several of the apps and web-apps have ceased development and have not updated for Apple’s newer equipment. I’ve done some testing, and have two new apps to recomment. The app “PushPaste” is an excellent replacement for myPhoneDesktop, nicely sending text and images from Windows up to an iPhone or iPad. To send data in the reverse direction, I now recommend “AirClipboard,” at least for text transmissions. In addition, I do still like “Drop—Copy & Paste,” but it needs iPhone 5 optimization. Note that “AirClipboard” operates over the internet in a highly secure (encrypted) fashion. “Drop” uses a shared wireless network to transmit data.
