Currently available to Windows Insider program participants, the new feature will allow users to access their smartphones directly through the operating system's File Explorer , without the need for cables.
The purpose of this tool is to facilitate file management between your cell phone and female database computer, eliminating the need for physical connections.
So, with the new feature, users will be able to browse, move, rename, and delete files from their Android devices directly through their computer.
To access this feature, you need a smartphone running Android 11 or higher and the beta version of the “Link to Windows” app installed. You also need to be enrolled in the Windows Insider program, which gives you early access to new Windows features.
Windows 11 facilitates integration between Android phones and PCs
Advantages and ease of use
The main advantage of this integration is convenience. This is because there is often no USB cable available to transfer files between your phone and your computer.
With the new Windows 11 functionality, this need is eliminated. Users can now access their documents, photos, and other files stored on their smartphones directly from their PC, quickly and conveniently.
In addition to transferring files, the feature will allow you to perform several operations directly from your computer, such as:
Rename files
Delete documents
Organize folders
Create new files and directories
Therefore, this flexibility provides a more complete and efficient user experience, aligned with the needs of modern users who seek practicality and efficiency in their daily lives.
Availability and expectations
The new feature is available in all testing channels of the Windows Insider program, including the “Release Preview” ring. This indicates that the tool is in the final testing phase and should be made available to all Windows 11 users soon.
Gradual release allows Microsoft to refine and adjust functionality based on feedback from testers, ensuring a high-quality experience when it is officially released.
