Microsoft has enriched the features of its Phone Link app, enabling direct file transfers between smartphones and PCs akin to AirDrop. Users can effortlessly drag files from their PC screens into the Phone Link app on their smartphones, and vice versa, swiftly transferring files back and forth.
To leverage this feature, ensure your PC’s Phone Link is updated to version 1.24032.156.0, and your mobile device is running Link to Windows version 1.24032.518.0 or higher. Android users previously had the option of using Google’s Quick Share (formerly Nearby Share) for file transfers to their PCs, but now have the additional choice of Microsoft’s Phone Link, offering a broader range of functions like call handling and screen mirroring.
