- The Link to Windows app has been updated to support showing your Windows PCs on the Android share sheet.

- It’s unclear what version of the Link to Windows app is required.
Microsoft is on a mission to make Android phones work better with Windows PCs. In recent weeks, the company has pushed out a slew of updates to its Phone Link app on Windows and its Link to Windows app on Android with the goal of simplifying file sharing. The latest update simplifies file transfers even further by putting your Windows PCs directly on the Android share sheet.
A few weeks ago, Microsoft rolled out an update that made Android file sharing much easier. The update made it possible to initiate a file transfer from the share sheet of your Android phone. All you need to do is select a file in your favorite app, tap the share button, and then select “Link to Windows [Send to PC]” in the share sheet. This opens a menu that lets you choose which Windows PC you’ve connected via Link to Windows to send the file. The file is then wirelessly transferred to your Windows PC and stored in the “Phone Link” directory under the Downloads folder.
