Nubloid • Frequently asked questions
Understand what you need, choose how to connect your devices and get more from Nubloid. Start with the topic that brought you here.
Nubloid expands what you can do with Android: use apps on a larger screen with Pocket PC, work with your phone from Windows in Desktop Mode, and manage files with Nubloid Files and File Transfer. Choose the feature that fits your task.
How Nubloid worksFor Desktop Mode and transfers between your phone and PC, install compatible Android and Windows versions. For Pocket PC, install Nubloid on the Android running your apps and the compatible Android receiving the screen, such as an Android TV or stick.
Get NubloidUse the links on the Downloads page: Google Play for Android and the Microsoft Store for Windows. Check the app name, publisher and requirements on the store page. These channels help you avoid copies and installers from unknown sources.
Get NubloidYou do not need a Nubloid account. Local features do not require authorization from external services. If you choose an available integration, you may need to sign in to that service and grant the relevant permissions.
Not every device is supported. Compatibility depends on your Android version, hardware and chosen feature. For Pocket PC, both the device running your apps and the receiver must be compatible. Check Google Play and the feature requirements before setting up the connection.
Pocket PC requirementsOpen Nubloid on the Microsoft Store and check its system requirements. To use Android apps from your PC, your phone must also meet the Desktop Mode requirements. The versions installed on both devices need to be compatible.
Desktop Mode requirementsChoose what you want to do: use another screen, work from your PC, organize files or transfer them. The website guides explain the first steps. When setting up a connection, also follow the instructions shown in the app.
Explore the guidesKanban remains on the roadmap, and Continuum is presented as an evolving concept. Available integrations depend on the app version; new features will be described as they are released. Check the home page and the information for your app version.
See available integrationsIt is a way to use your phone apps on a larger screen with a keyboard and mouse. Your main Android device keeps running the apps while another compatible Android receives the workspace. The receiver can be another phone, a tablet, an Android TV or a TV with a compatible stick.
Explore Pocket PCWith Pocket PC, another compatible Android device becomes the screen for your workspace. With Desktop Mode, you use Android apps from Windows with your PC keyboard and mouse. In both cases, the apps keep running on Android.
Explore Desktop ModeFor Pocket PC, connect them to the Android running your apps, usually the phone sending the session. The receiver displays the screen. For Desktop Mode, use the keyboard and mouse connected to your Windows computer.
Direct file transfers over the network do not require USB debugging. Pocket PC and Desktop Mode have their own setup, including Android settings and permissions; depending on the connection, the guide may use USB or wireless debugging. Follow the guide for your chosen mode. This setup is separate from the file transfer code.
Explore the guidesNo. Pocket PC lets you use Android apps on another screen. Desktop Mode also keeps the apps on Android and lets you control them from Windows. Neither feature installs or runs Windows programs on your phone.
Locking Android is different from using Nubloid’s privacy shield. In Pocket PC, turning off or locking the screen through Android pauses the session’s picture and controls and protects the receiving screen. Unlock your device and follow the app to resume. In Desktop Mode, use the controls available for your session.
Your devices, connection and the app you are using affect picture, audio and response time. Use the settings available for your mode and installed version. Some apps can restrict display or control, so results vary between devices.
Files you import or receive through Nubloid are available to organize, find, open or share. Files uses your device’s own storage. It is not an automatic backup or a copy of every folder on your phone or PC.
Explore Nubloid FilesOn the device with the files, select what to send and prepare the transfer. Share the code or invitation with the recipient. On the other device, open the invitation or enter the code in Nubloid and follow the transfer. You can send in either direction with compatible versions.
Explore File TransferYes, to receive a Nubloid transfer or open a Nubloid invitation, the recipient needs a compatible app version. Sharing a file through your system’s share menu to another app is a separate action and follows that app’s options.
No. The invitation contains the information needed to access the transfer and may show a summary of file names and sizes. The file contents are received through Nubloid. Check the sender and share invitations only with the intended recipient.
Photos, videos, audio and documents are common examples. Available formats and selection options depend on your version and transfer method. To open a received file, you need an app that supports its format. A transfer is not an antivirus scan.
Yes, transfer methods can have their own size and quantity limits. You also need free space on the receiving device, and external integrations may have their own restrictions. Check the app’s messages and split your transfer into smaller batches if it indicates a limit.
You can organize local files, and direct transfers can work without external internet when your devices can connect over the local network. External integrations need internet. Apps used in Pocket PC or Desktop Mode may also need internet for their own features.
Not necessarily. For local transfers, devices need to be able to communicate. Hotel, office or guest networks may isolate devices even on the same Wi-Fi. Use a trusted network and follow Nubloid’s connection guidance.
When devices can connect directly, files can go from one to the other without first being uploaded to cloud storage. For other situations, Nubloid offers the optional integrations available in your version. Speed depends on your devices, connection and files.
The code, also called a token, provides access to a transfer during its validity period. Share it only with the intended recipient. If the transfer has expired or ended, follow the app to prepare a new invitation instead of reusing the old code.
No. Local operations use your devices and the connection between them. If you authorize an available integration, a transfer may use temporary storage from your chosen service when needed. Integrations are optional and also follow that service’s policies.
Read the privacy policyIt does not collect data for usage analytics or advertising. To carry out your requests, the app processes operational information such as selected files, connection details and transfer status; local diagnostics may also exist. Read the policy for details.
Read the privacy policyYes. You choose what to import, send, share or receive and which integrations to authorize. Nubloid processes the information needed to perform those operations. Local features remain separate from authorization for external services.
No. The privacy policy states that Nubloid does not show ads or use Google data for advertising. You can read the full policy on the privacy page.
Read the privacy policyYes. Use the app controls to end the session or cancel the operation. Cancelling does not automatically delete files already received, exported or shared, or messages already sent. Manage those copies where they were saved.
