In this guide, I will explain the feature and the steps to enable and use it.<\/p>\n<p>The new flyout is currently available on the Beta Channel, with the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/kb5050105-22635-4805-windows-11\/\">Windows 11 build 22635.4805 (KB5050105)<\/a> (via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/phantomofearth\/status\/1882954297757007886\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@PhantonOfEarth<\/a>). However, it&#8217;s an experimental feature, so you must enable it manually using the ViveTool.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Drag Tray?<\/h2>\n<p>Drag Tray is a flyout that appears at the top edge of the screen with different options for sharing a file. However, it&#8217;s only for individual files. You cannot share a collection of files, a folder, or a container like &#8220;.zip&#8221; files.<\/p>\n<p>The suggestions of apps to share files depend on the supported applications installed on your computer. The flyout also provides another option to open the &#8220;Windows Share&#8221; interface.<\/p>\n<p>This feature intends to make sharing files easier, faster, and more intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll explain the steps to enable and get started with the new interface to share files on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<ul
