You can now send files to Android from startup
Windows 11's Start menu has a new feature called "Send files", which allows you to drag and drop files to your Android phone.
To use the "Send files" feature from Windows 11 to an Android phone, follow these steps:
- Ensure Both Devices Are Connected:
Make sure your Android phone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. - Enable Bluetooth:
On your PC, turn on Bluetooth and pair it with your Android device. You can do this from Settings > Bluetooth & devices. - Send Files:
Open the Start menu on Windows 11. - Right-click the file you want to send and select Send to > Send files to your Android device.
Your Android device should appear in the list, and you can choose to send the file. - Receive on Android:
- Once the transfer starts, your Android device will prompt you to accept the file.
