Comments on Link to Windows for Android

★★★★★ Noah Buckler · Jun 24, 2026

Good for controlling devices and using like probable features and leading to lock my PC without letting anybody know that I'm locking it, it is very easy to lock it without letting anybody know, but you can just out all out of sudden, you could just lock it and then the person trying to get in. Would it be able to and then every time you open your computer? It just sends it like digs with your phone.

★★★★☆ Piyush Solanki · Jun 24, 2026

Link to Windows is a great app with smooth file transfer and seamless phone-PC connectivity. However, I would like to suggest an additional feature just as we can locate a phone from a laptop, it would be very helpful to have the ability to locate a laptop or PC from a phone as well. A 'Find My PC' feature that allows users to make their PC ring from their phone would make it much easier to find a misplaced device and would greatly improve the overall user experience

★★★★☆ Chulo Money · Jun 27, 2026

To move files from my pc to my phone seems is such a long process. It takes too long to reflect on my phone

★☆☆☆☆ Renee Murfet · Jun 24, 2026

1star because you can't do 0. To use this app for ANY file sharing this is the disclaimer "Allow this app to read, modify and delete all files on this device or any connected storage volumes. If granted, the app may access files WITHOUT YOUR EXPLICIT KNOWLEDGE." NO, THANKS

★★☆☆☆ Police Department · Jul 1, 2026

I am concerned that this application may expose my mobile device by opening a network service or communication channel for data exchange. If an attacker were to compromise my computer, could they leverage this application's communication mechanisms or exploit a vulnerability within it to gain unauthorized access to my mobile device?

★☆☆☆☆ brian compton · Jun 24, 2026

Trying to get this to work with a new phone was VERY frustrating. Complete mess. I am enraged and I hate Microsoft now.

★☆☆☆☆ Uriah Wickham · Jun 24, 2026

Never asked for it never wanted it. Stop with the slop

★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Hamel · Jun 20, 2026

The security on this app is so high that I can barely use it. As soon as I try so sign in on a new device, I need to go through at leat 5 different ways to be sure it is me. It gives me so much trouble, my bank account is 10 times easier. It's an email Microsoft, slow down on your safety feature please
