At last, Microsoft lets Windows 11 share files with Android apps
Microsoft is adding the ability to share files between Windows 11 and its Android subsystem, a much-requested feature that marks the latest step by Redmond to play nice with Android and iOS.
Windows 11 users will be able to share such Documents and Pictures with the Subsystem,"so scenarios like uploading a photo to a social media app or editing a video in a creative app work seamlessly," the WSA team wrote. The key is permissions. Android apps need the user's permission before viewing or editing their files. The apps have to show a system dialog to request the permission, which can be revoked at any time through the app settings.
