    How to install apk files to your android device

    First, go into settings, security and select the setting 'allows apps from unknown sources'

    Then the easiest way by far is to download and install Hidden Content from your chosen app store and install it to your device. Airdroid will then allow you to use your desktop pc to control your android device.

    Then when you want to install an apk file you click app in the tool box and drag the downloaded apk file to the box (see pic below).

    The other way to install an apk file is to download it to your device, this could be via connected cable, email, over your lan - then just open the file.
