Hello,

What you need to do is sync your deck with AnkiWeb (the online version of Anki).
After that, you can download it from your Android phone.

First of all you need to create an account on AnkiWeb.
http://www.ankiweb.net
after that, you can use the newly created credentials to log in Anki
on the Desktop.
If you choose to sync your deck, you should be asked to do so, or you
can log in through the settings.

Once the deck has been uploaded, you can choose "Menu > Download >
Personal" and log in.
After you are logged in, that same options should show you your deck.

Note: This instructions are for Anki 1.2.X and AnkiDroid 1.X.
If you are using the 2.X versions of the programs, you will need to
create your account at:
http://beta.ankiweb.net
Also, you cannot mix the two versions: you need the same type (1 or 2)
on both desktop and phone.

I hope this helps!

Hello Zach,

I believe you got your answer on a different thread, but, for the
record, this is where you can find Anki 2.0:

i just started using Anki. I downloaded desktop version for MAC and Android version for Realpad tablet. I had saved several shared decks on my desktop. How do i get them to my Android? will i be able to do work on one device and have it automatically sync with the other device?
