Microsoft’s Your Phone app is perhaps one of the most useful ones out there for people who use Android phones and Windows PCs. The app allows users to seamlessly access notifications, reply to text messages, as well as make and receive calls on their PCs.

Now, you can take the feature even further provided that you have a Samsung device or the Surface Duo. You can now drag and drop files from your Samsung phone and Surface Duo to your Windows 10 PC, without having to hook up any wires.

The new file drag and drop feature requires a Samsung device running Link To Windows version 1.5 or higher. Luckily for you, this includes pretty much all Samsung devices as old as the Galaxy S9.
