Microsoft is on a mission to make Android phones more compatible with Windows PCs. Over the past few weeks, the company has released a number of updates to its Phone Link app on Windows and its Link to Windows app on Android, with the goal of making file sharing easier. The latest update simplifies file transfer even further by putting your Windows PCs directly on the Android share sheet.

A few weeks ago, Microsoft released an update that made Android file sharing much easier. The update made it possible to initiate a file transfer from your Android phone’s share sheet. All you have 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 will open a menu where you can select which Windows PC you’ve connected via “Link to Windows” to send the file to. The file will then be transferred wirelessly to your Windows PC and saved in the “Phone Link” directory in the “Downloads” folder.

While this change has certainly made your Android phone files easier to access, there’s still room for improvement. If you don’t pin the Link to Windows (Send to PC) button to the top of your share sheet, you may have to scroll through a lengthy list to find the button every time you want to share files. Additionally, tapping this button opens the file sharing menu in the Link to Windows app instead of sharing files immediately. With a recent update to the Link to Windows app for Android, however, you no longer have to scroll through the share sheet to find the button or go through the app’s file sharing menu.

Today I noticed that the Windows PCs I connected to my phone via Link to Windows were showing up at the top of the Android share sheet. I could tap any of these options to instantly start a file transfer to the PC of my choice. It seems that Microsoft is now using the Android API to allow apps to provide Direct Share destinations to the system share sheet. This is the same mechanism that Google’s own Quick Share uses to show devices you frequently share with at the top of the share sheet.

I don’t know which version of the Link to Windows app added these Direct Share destinations, but a few weeks ago they weren’t showing up for me. Microsoft says the seamless file transfer feature requires Link to Windows app version 1.24032.518.0 or later on your Android 9+ device and Phone Link version 1.24032.156.0 or later on your Windows 10+ PC, so we can assume those are the minimum versions required for this feature to work.

Microsoft has also been working to make file transfer from your Windows PC to your Android phone easier. The company recently released a Windows update that adds a “My Phone” icon to the Windows sharing menu, and it also released an update that lets you manage your Android phone files right from Windows File Explorer. It’s clear that Microsoft wants to make Windows the best PC operating system for your Android phone, and these file sharing changes go a long way toward making the two platforms work better together.
