While development of Windows 10 is still in full swing, Microsoft now has a big proposition in mind with Windows 11: a complete connection between an Android device and a PC via Windows Explorer. And the best: without having to connect by cable to the PCthat’s exactly when it appears as another connected disk.
The Mobile Link (Phone Link) app on a Windows computer opens up an endless variety of new connected experiences with an Android mobile/tablet. Nail a synergy that gives very good results
The user PhantomOcean3, from his Twitter account, showed a new option that Microsoft would prepare in Windows 11 which allows the direct access to mobile files wirelessly without having to connect your mobile via Windows Explorer. It’s like it’s connected to the computer by cable.
It looks like Cross Device Experience Host will let you bring up your device in File Explorer in a future update, a toggle for this has been hidden in the app for some time. pic.tw itter.com/9zwomWwdTz

The app Mobile Link is the bridge between the two devices and this new feature is now configurable from the Windows 11 settings in Bluetooth and devices, then in mobile devices and finally on mobile device management.
This new experience offers a new aspect for file sharing, because if previously Enlace Móvil allowed access to images and videos, now a whole new path opens up for access all mobile folders. That is, it would look like when the mobile phone is connected via a cable.
Even you can avoid using Quick Share, the current best solution for transferring files between Windows and Android. Mobile Link is mainly used to receive notifications, use Android apps, play games, and easily receive voice calls, among many other features.
Yes, according to 9to5Googlethis new feature has coming via beta and dev versions of Windows 11 before falling into the final version which would be updated via the updates section of system settings. A very useful feature, since the mobile phone would always appear in the computer section of Windows Explorer to access it immediately without doing anything and it would be another hard drive.
