Windows 11 to Integrate Android Phone Access in File Explorer

-

  


Good news for Windows users with Android phones!** Microsoft is rolling out a new feature that lets you seamlessly access your Android phone's files right from File Explorer. Here's what you need to know:


 How It Works


1. Requirements:

   - Your Android phone must be running Android 11 or higher.


   - You need to be using the BETA version of the "Link to Windows" app (version 1.24071 and higher) on your Android device.


   - Your PC should be part of the Windows Insider Program and running Windows 11.


2. Enabling the Feature:

   - Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mobile Devices.


   - Choose "Manage devices" and allow your PC to access your Android phone.


   - Look for the toggle to show your phone in File Explorer. If you don't see it yet, don't worry—it's gradually rolling out.


3. What You Can Do:

   - Wirelessly browse through all your folders and files on your Android phone.


   - Open, copy, rename, move, and delete files between your PC and phone.


 Known Issues


- Deleted phone files on your PC are moved to a new Recycle Bin folder on your phone. Currently, they remain there for 5 days (even though the dialog says 30 days). An update will fix this.



- Occasionally, deleted files in the new Recycle Bin folder on your phone may not appear in File Explorer on your PC. This issue will be resolved in a future update.


- Some operations performed on phone files from your PC may not sync back to the phone. As a workaround, log out of your Windows account on your PC and log back in.


Feedback: If you encounter any issues, file feedback in the Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Devices and Drivers > Linked devices.


Stay tuned for this exciting addition to Windows 11, making your Android phon

e integration even smoother! 🎉🔗
