Microsoft Tests Easier Android File Sharing on Windows

Shiva Ganesh

The new file-sharing feature is currently available to members of the Windows Insider program.

Users can share content from their Windows PC to an Android device using the 'My Phone' icon in the Windows Share window.

To enable file sharing, users must pair their Android device with their Windows PC using the 'Link to Windows' app on Android and the 'Phone Link' app on Windows.

Once paired, the 'My Phone' option allows for easy content transfer between the Windows PC and the Android device.

The feature is part of the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3785 (KB5039319), which was recently released for the Beta Channel.
