- The latest Windows 11 update may crash your PC, Microsoft advises against installing it
- Microsoft confirms issues in Windows 11 security update
- The June 2024 Android update is now available: all the news
Microsoft continues to take steps forward in Windows 11 and Android compatibility. Now, thanks to the updates that the development team implements in the system, Windows 11’s File Explorer will be able to connect to the files you have saved on your Android smartphone, being able to transfer files without the need to connect the mobile to the PC with a USB cable or using third-party cloud services.
Wireless connection between Windows 11 and Android
The cross-device connection, that is, between devices, has been one of the most recent improvements in Windows 11 with respect to the services it offers to users of its system. As insiders on social networks have revealed, the step forward of using an Android mobile phone through a Windows PC will now also involve free access to the phone’s folders from the computer.
In fact, there will also be a function that will allow, not only this connection, but also to freely activate or deactivate the option for the contents of your mobile phone to appear in the file explorer itself, with free access that can be very useful for those who often work exchanging files between these two devices.
Microsoft trial and error
This new function is not that it is completely new, but it is the closest version uniting the intention that the company has with this service with the needs of users who are looking for a link between their mobile and their computer. Microsoft often listens to user feedback to fine-tune its services to provide a satisfying enough experience for users to actively use the tool.
This has also been seen recently in the change of direction that the company has taken with the controversial Recall function, which, through AI, the system monitors everything that happens on the screen so that the user can ask questions related to what they have done. This decision was not to the liking of many users, who called it a disaster in terms of cybersecurity, and Microsoft chose to listen to its users and make this option optional, and not permanent.
