Ever tried copying on one device and pasting it on other? Seems like a dream, no? I’ll tell you the easiest way to Share Clipboard Across All Your Devices. No matter if it’s an Android, Mac, Windows, Linux or iOS, we have got you covered.

‎CLIPBOARD HISTORY for your macOS. Record clipboard history from images, links, files and text, and copy or paste it when you needed them. Create labels for organize items. Use Swift Shortcuts for quick pasting clipboard items in apps. Pinboard make easier find and sort items by labels, applicat.

Apple has always tried to step up its game and with the launch of iOS 10 and Mac OS X Sierra, we have seen how well Apple devices integrate with each other. Yes, I am talking about the Universal Clipboard which was released alongside iOS 10 and OS X Sierra. Luckily my work devices are Macbook and iPhone only, so getting my hands on Universal clipboard was a blissful experience. I mean, it’s so convenient if you are up for some data entry jobs. In case you are on a platform other than OS X and iOS, follow my guide and I am going to share the 3 ways to make copy-paste across devices a cakewalk.

1. Alt-C

• Universal Clipboard. Requires an iPhone or iPad with a Lightning connector and iOS 10 or later. Supported by Mac models introduced in mid 2013 or later. Requires an Apple Watch with watchOS 3 or later or an iPhone 5 or later. Approve with Apple Watch. Supported by Mac models introduced in mid 2013 or later.
• 1Clipboard is a universal clipboard managing app. It keeps track of everything you copy into your clipboard across the device. So all you need to do is just copy as usual then paste it to other.

Alt-C is an amazing piece of tool available for Windows, Mac, and Android. I thoroughly tested it across all the three platforms and believe me, I didn’t miss Apple’s Continuity feature even once. Copy and paste across devices turned into such a beautiful experience and that too without any shortcomings, except it’s not available for iOS and Linux as of now. You can download Alt-C for all the three platforms from here.

Moreover, Alt-C doesn’t even require your devices on the same network, as long as both are connected to the internet. Although it requires you being signed into your Google Account on your Android since the application uses Google Cloud Messaging.

How to Setup Alt-C to Share Clipboard Across All Your Devices:

Step 1: By this time, I am assuming you have installed Alt-C on devices which need to share Clipboard. If not, please install it before you proceed further.

Now, launch Alt-C on your Android and tap on GET MY CODE! Alt-C will instantly generate the share code with you.

Step 2: Launch Alt-C on your Windows PC or Mac and enter the code received in Step 1. Finally, tap on Sync. This way you can add as many devices as you wish. And Yes! All will share the Clipboard.

Unfortunately, it’s not available for 2 major platforms i.e. Linux and iOS. You guys can try the other ways mentioned below.

2. Pushbullet

Pushbullet, an advance file sharing service can also act as a Universal clipboard if used efficiently. Available for Windows, iOS, and Android, Pushbullet also comes with browser extensions which make it virtually compatible with Linux and OS X also. You can download Pushbullet from here.

Pushbullet doesn’t even require your devices on the same network but please make sure all devices are logged in with the same account.

How to Use Pushbullet to Share Clipboard Across Devices:

– I guess by this time you have installed Pushbullet on all your devices. Let’s see how to make it work.

Suppose I wish to copy from iPhone and share among all my devices. Just long tap the text you wish to share, wait for the action menu and tap on Share. Select Pushbullet from the sharing menu.

– It’ll ask with whom you wish to share. Either select All devices or you can go with the selective approach. All your devices will receive this text as a message from Pushbullet. Copy this Pushbullet message on your other devices and that’s it! It’s ready to paste.

– Let’s say I wish to copy from PC and share it among all my devices. Highlight the text, tap the right mouse click, and select Pushbullet. From there, you can share the text across all your devices.

This is a really nifty workaround if you wish to Copy Paste Across Devices.

3. Google Keep

Ahh! Who thought this note taking service from Google could act as a tool to Share Clipboard Across All Your Devices. Just get the Chrome plugin on your PC, install Keep on your phone and you are ready to Copy Paste Across Devices. You can download Google Keep app on your phone from here (Android | iOS) and Google Keep’s Chrome plugin from here. Let’s see how to get the work done using Google Keep:

– Suppose I wish to copy from iPhone and share among all my devices. Just long tap the text you wish to share, wait for the action menu and tap on Share. Select GoogleKeep from the sharing menu.

You’ll see the Google Keep’s post box. Simply tap on Post.

– Now head over to Google Keep’s Official Website on your PC, log in from the same ID used on your phone app and you’ll see the text right on your screen. Use the text however you wish.

– Let’s say I wish to copy from PC and share it among all my devices. Highlight the text, tap the right mouse click, and select Save Selection to Keep. From there, you can share the text across all your devices. Launch Google Keep on your phone and you can see the copied text right there.

Though this is not a clean workaround, still it serves the purpose well. Isn’t it?

Conclusion: Share Clipboard Across All Your Devices

Though Apple has clearly raised the bar with Universal Clipboard, the above-mentioned alternatives specially Alt-C does exactly what we expected. In case you are working on iPhone and Windows and looking for Universal Clipboard, you can always try Pushbullet and Google Keep.
