There’s no word on when this feature will be more widely available, but given that it’s already out in the open, we’re assuming it won’t take much longer. A progress indicator will show for a few seconds. Release the mouse and your file(s) will start transferring. The cursor will change to say Copy when you’re able to drop. Once you’ve opened Phone screen in the Your Phone app, use your mouse to select the file(s) you’d like to transfer and drag them to the Your Phone app window. The cursor will change to say Copy when you are able to drop.ĭragging files from your PC to your phone: Drag the photo(s) to your desired location on your PC. Use your mouse to long press on the photo(s) you’ve selected, and a thumbnail will appear. If you’d like to select additional photos, you can do so by tapping on them. Long press on a photo until a checkmark appears, then release. Once you’ve opened Phone screen in the Your Phone app, use your mouse to navigate to your Albums and select one. If you’re new to the process, Microsoft explains how it works: Files will also be present in the default download folder on your phone. If you’re transferring files from a Windows 10 computer to your Galaxy phone/tablet, you can tap on the notification to check out the files that have been sent over. To access this feature, users will need to be running at least v1.5 or higher of the Your Phone Companion app on their compatible Galaxy smartphone or tablet. The process is fairly straight forward, although it is only available to Windows Insiders at the moment.

Folders are currently not supported either.

The company mentions users can only send 100 files at a time, and each file size shouldn’t exceed 512MB. This new drag and drop feature has some limitations, however. Last month, Samsung announced support for copy/paste of text and media to and from Windows 10 computers. Microsoft’s Your Phone Companion app has just received support for drag and drop files between Windows 10 PCs and Galaxy smartphones or tablets.
