This has been crucial to my work ever since. Send documents, pictures or any valuable files from your mobile phone to your PC and vice versa.

The search giant now continues to improve it step by step. Its latest updates have focused on bug fixes and performance improvements, but the latest Important new features that improve user experience. If you haven’t used it yet, I recommend you try it because it’s better than ever.

Instant Share on Windows is getting better. Now with new animations and an additional option

It’s great news that Windows and Android users have “AirDrop” to match: the tool was already working perfectly and allows you to share all types of files, Including internet connections or WiFi credentials.

Even if it has good performance, it is open to improvement like any other service or application: Google continues to work to improve it. As we read on 9to5Google, it has just been updated and unlike the latest versions, this version brings a lot of energy.

What’s your news? The Mountain View company explains these on its support website:

• Added an option change visibility settings from tray icon.
• Fixed an issue where URLs were classified as text instead of links.

As we can see, three of the changes are minor and bug fixes. degree of maturity of the vehicle. Yes, I found the new option very useful, which allows you to select the device’s visibility directly from the Quick Share icon in the Windows tray.
