Key Points:
- Effortless File Transfer: Share content directly from Windows 11’s share menu to your Galaxy phone.

Ever wished for a simpler way to share files between your Galaxy phone and Windows PC? Look no further! Microsoft is introducing a new feature that streamlines this process, allowing you to wirelessly transfer content directly from Windows 11’s share menu to your Android device.
This exciting development builds upon the existing functionalities of Microsoft’s Link to Windows app for Android and the Phone Link app for Windows. These apps have already revolutionized cross-device interaction, enabling you to answer calls, manage messages, and access photos on your Windows PC from your Galaxy phone. Now, Microsoft is taking things a step further by integrating file sharing into this ecosystem.
Imagine you want to share a PDF document stored on your Windows-powered Galaxy Book with your Galaxy smartphone. With this new feature, the process becomes incredibly user-friendly. Simply right-click on the file, select “Share,” and choose the “My Phone” option. Windows will then seamlessly transfer the document wirelessly (likely over your local network) to your Galaxy phone or tablet.
To unlock this functionality, you’ll need to ensure your Windows PC and Android device are linked using the Phone Link app and the Link to Windows app, respectively. While an official release date hasn’t been announced, we can expect this feature to roll out to the stable version of Windows 11 within the next few months.
In the meantime, you can still leverage Google’s Nearby Share app for wireless file transfers between your Windows PC and Android device. However, the upcoming integration between Windows 11 and Link to Windows promises a more streamlined and intuitive experience for Galaxy phone users.
