In this guide, I will outline the steps to complete this process.<\/p>\n<p>Although you have been able to share files between your phone and Windows 11 for quite some time, the feature was limited to Android devices. However, it&#8217;s now also available on iPhone devices (as a preview).<\/p>\n<p>The setup is straightforward. You only need to pair your phone with your computer using the <strong>&#8220;Link to Windows&#8221;<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;Phone Link&#8221;<\/strong> apps, and then you can share files directly through File Explorer or the share feature on your mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll explain the easy steps to transfer files from your phone to your PC and vice versa on Windows 11, but these instructions will also work on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h2>Share files between Android or iPhone and Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>The setup for file sharing between mobile devices and your computer is a two-step process, and here&#8217;s how.\u00a0If you already have your phone paired with your computer, you can proceed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/setup-network-file-sharing-windows-11\/\">file-sharing<\/a> steps.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll demonstrate this process using an Android phone and Windows 11, but the steps will be similar for iPhone and <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\">Windows 10<\/a> users.<\/p>\n<h3>Connect phone to PC<\/h3>\n<p>To connect your Android phone (or iPhone) to Windows 11, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>On Windows, open <strong>Start<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Search for <strong>Phone Link<\/strong> and open the top result to open the app.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Continue<\/strong> button and sign in with your Microsoft account (if applicable).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Android<\/strong> (or
