Windows 11’s Android Integration Update
“We’ve been listening to the community, and many of you have been asking us to support sharing files between Windows and the Subsystem,” says the Windows Subsystem for Android team in a blog post.
“We are pleased to announce that Windows Subsystem for Android can now share your Windows user folders, like Documents and Pictures, with the Subsystem, so scenarios like uploading a photo to a social media app or editing a video in a creative app work seamlessly.”
Folder sharing has been enabled by default for preview users. And Android apps can only view or edit your Windows files with your permission.
Android apps have to show a permission request dialog and permissions can be revoked from settings. These new updates are perfect stepping stones for future sync working between both the OS.
