SHARE

Integrating your Android phone with Windows 11 can make accessing files and managing your device much more convenient. Thanks to the Link to Windows feature, this process is simpler than ever. To get started, you’ll need a Windows 11 PC with the latest updates, an Android device running Android 11 or later, and the Link to Windows app installed on your phone.

Once you have everything set up, follow these steps to seamlessly add your Android phone to Windows 11 File Explorer. It’s important to note that while this guide was created using the Nothing Phone (2), the steps should be similar for Android phones from other brands.

1. Connect your devices:
Open the Link to Windows app on your Android phone and log in using your Microsoft account. Click on ‘Go to device settings’ and then ‘ADD COMPUTER’. Follow the prompts to connect your devices by visiting a specific website on your PC or scanning a QR code.

2. Allow data permissions:
Once connected, grant permission on your phone to view photos and send texts from your PC. Navigate to the Link to Windows app settings and allow permissions for ‘Phone’, ‘SMS’, ‘Contacts’, and ‘Storage’.

3. Allow notification permissions:
On your PC app, open settings on your mobile device and grant additional permissions to show content from your phone. Enable ‘Allow notification access’ for the Link to Windows app on your phone.

4. Allow access to your mobile devices:
In your PC settings, toggle on ‘Allow this PC to access your mobile devices’ and ‘Phone Link’. Manage your devices and ensure your phone is listed under ‘My devices’. Enable ‘Show mobile device in File Explorer’ to access your phone’s files.

5. Allow all file access:
On your phone, grant access to manage all files by toggling on ‘Allow access to manage all files’ for the Link to Windows app.

6. Open your phone storage in File Explorer:
After completing these steps, you should see your phone listed in File Explorer on the left-hand side. You can now easily access and manage files on your Android phone from your Windows 11 PC.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate your Android phone with Windows 11, making file management and access more convenient. Explore more Phone Hacks & How Tos to make the most out of your Android device.
