I just tried this yesterday and it worked fine... Problem was, it opened on my PC but in old/public version of Edge. Which is not my default browser. Edge Dev is currently my default browser.....

In May this worked like a charm.. Today, will "NOT" work at all.....  Mobil edge says it sent to pc, but nothing shows on my pc. Edge Canary is default and have tried changing to Edge Dev and no go....  Nothing.....   

Anyone else having problems send to pc from your Android phone?

    I'd really like to see some kind of response or commentary from the team on this as well. I use this feature quite a bit and it would be really great to not have to go through the extra steps to copy the link from the old Edge, paste it into the Edge Dev window, and then close down legacy Edge.

      I just tried this again and even though I have Can as my default browser, it opened in the New Edge stable/public. This is supposed to open in whatever browser you have set as default is it not? Then why is it not opening the default browser?

    Dennis5mile I can send to my phone from PC, but sending to PC from phone doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

      Are you using the new Edge on your pc or do you still have the old edge installed? I believe continue on pc will not work with the old edge. And it does not matter if you have Dev or Canary set as your default browser it will only open on the new public version of Edge.

      Also, on your phone make sure the following is set..

      In settings, click the account name you are logged in with, 

       

       

      Then click where it says "Sync to"

       

      Make sure that "The new Microsoft Edge" is selected..

        Thanks for the response! I think I have everything set up correctly; however, I am seeing different screens than you are showing. 

         

        On PC: Microsoft Edge (I have version 80.0.361.69 official 64 bit build, signed into my outlook account,

         

        On Android (Samsung Galaxy S7 edge running Android version 7.0), on the phone, I go to settings>cloud and accounts (no accounts tab)>accounts>edge (it shows the new logo, and I seem to remember selecting the new edge for it when I installed it on all devices). This is also synced to the same outlook account. 

         

        In Edge mobile (version 45.01.4.49200 I go to settings>accounts>my outlook account (same as other apps/settings)>sync to>The new microsoft edge. 

         

        When I am on PC, tabs send to my phone it works without a hitch. 

         

        When I send from phone to PC (continue on PC) it doesn't work, regardless of whether I use the share menu in the bottom center (3 dots in a row, which doesn't provide any confirmation) or the share menu on the right (the < with dots, which says "sent to PC!" but never shows up).

         

        I am using the Nova Launcher (the microsoft launcher is too cumbersome for my poor phone). I am not sure what may be the issue, but I am happy to share anything you may need to help diagnose.
