I tried your suggestion and it works - thank you for that. Thanks for using Windows Subsystem for Android™!īeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback. We encourage you to try out file sharing scenarios and let us know how it works for you in Feedback Hub. In these cases, apps only receive read access to the shared file. Some Android™ apps also support pasting files copied to the Windows clipboard. Simply drag and drop files from File Explorer to any open Android™ app that supports sharing files. You can also share individual files with specific Android™ apps, even if folder sharing is disabled. Recent files are prioritized, so if you can’t find a file in an Android™ app, try opening it from File Explorer first. Indexing is usually quick but may take longer if you have a lot of files. The Subsystem needs to index shared files before apps can access them.You can also modify your cloud storage settings to make some or all of your files always available offline. Simply open an online-only file in File Explorer to download it and make it available to the Subsystem. If your cloud storage provider includes online-only files in File Explorer, the online-only files will not be available to the Subsystem until you download them. Cloud storage files must be downloaded to your device.If the Subsystem tries to save a file with a blocked extension to “/sdcard/Windows”, the save will fail. Executable file types, like “.exe” are excluded from sharing to protect your security.Windows hidden files/folders like AppData and Android hidden files/folders (dot prefixed names) are excluded from sharing.When opening files in other folders from an Android™ app, the Subsystem offers the option of copying the file to Windows and opening it there. Only files the Subsystem saves to “/sdcard/Windows” are available to Windows. Windows system folders, Program Files, other users’ folders, external drives, etc. Only files in your Windows user profile folder are available to the Subsystem.There are a few restrictions you should be aware of: The Subsystem also guards against malicious apps that would abuse your permission by scanning all Android™ apps with your antivirus software during installation and blocking threats, whether you installed the app from the Amazon Appstore or installed it with developer tools. Apps must show a system dialog to request your permission, and permission can be revoked at any time from app settings. Your privacy and security are important to us, so Android™ apps can only view or edit your files with your permission. When folder sharing is enabled, your Windows user profile folder (e.g., “C:\Users\John Doe”) is shared as “/sdcard/Windows” in the Subsystem. Folder sharing is enabled by default for preview users and can be toggled on and off in Windows Subsystem for Android™ Settings. 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. We’ve been listening to the community, and many of you have been asking us to support sharing files between Windows and the Subsystem. File Sharing Now Available! (Build 2305) What is File Sharing?
