In our guide on how to sideload apps on Android TV, we have recommended using the popular SFTV app to seamlessly transfer files between Android TV and your smartphone. However, of late, the Send Files to TV app does not seem to work and more importantly, it was last updated in 2019. So if you are also facing such issues and looking to transfer files to Android TV without any hassle then you have come to the right place. In this article, I have mentioned a simple tutorial on how to transfer files to Android TV through a cloud service.

The best part of using this method is that it’s a one-time process and does not require connectivity through a common WiFi network. So on that note, let’s go ahead and find the steps.

  1. Now, click on “Login to Google Drive“.
