Windows with deeper integration with Samsung phones.Copying data will be easier

As part of Windows Insider, beta-testers of Windows Insider have a new, test version of the System Application Your Telephone.This is to go to the production channel - and therefore to ordinary users - in a few weeks, if serious defects are not detected during tests.The biggest novelty is to increase integration with Samsung applications My files and Samsung Gallery, which is part of Android with One UI.

How to copy files from Samsung Galaxy phone to a computer with Windows - and vice versa?Just drag and drop.

The new version of the application Your phone allows you to copy files between our devices much easier.Just grab the appropriate icon representing the file and drag it to the right place - as if we copy files between the folders in two open file explorer windows.

To copy the Samsung Galaxy file to your computer, you need:

1. Otworzyć aplikację Twój telefon
2. Wybrać funkcję Ekran telefonu, która wyświetla obraz z naszego telefonu na ekranie komputera
3. Otworzyć w tym widoku Galerię lub Moje pliki – w zależności od tego co chcemy skopiować i jak nam wygodniej.
4. Zaznaczamy plik do przeniesienia
5. Przeciągamy go myszką lub palcem do otwartego okna Eksploratora plików na naszym komputerze

To copy a file from a computer to Samsung Galaxy:

1. Wystarczy przeciągnąć plik do okna aplikacji Twój telefon z wybraną funkcją Ekran telefonu. Pliki pojawią się w folderze Pobrane na telefonie.

There are some restrictions.At the same time, you can copy a maximum of 100 files and the size of a single file cannot exceed 512 MB.

Will this function go to other Android phones?

Good question.The Your Telephone application works with all Android phones, allowing you to send and receive SMSs and MMSs from your computer and to make voice calls.In addition, the application integrates the Android Notification Center and Windows Action Center - synchronizing notifications between our devices.

However, the function of the phone screen for now in the production channel only supports Android devices with One UI - and therefore only Samsung equipment.As Microsoft explains, some of the functions require cooperation from the phone manufacturer.At present, no other manufacturer with Microsoft is currently wanting to cooperate.It's a pity.
