Windows 10: How do I send a file document from pc to android phone?

I tried to cast the file but my phone, which is connected to my pc, was not listed.

:)

 

Does Win10 have a native tool for sending files to an Android Phone?

It is just easier to do it from phone.

Any tool that sends from PC such as fast file transfer requires a tool on phone as well. This is because android does not really have the concept of file sharing in same way as a pc.

Install ES file explorer on Android phone.

Set up drives with files on PC as network shares

Use network option on android phone to connect to PC

Copy files (either way) to/from PC.

 

Is there an app 4 Win10 to click a phone # and dial it on my android?

Hi there

about half way in this article shows how I think you can use Windows to do this.

The relevant bit is this piece I think

It's not perfect but it will do what you need. You need to install on the PHONE as well -- this isn't clear from the documentation but it does work and you DON'T NEED THE PREMIUM (i.e PAY) piece.

.......................
You can also initiate a call using AirDroid on your PC, but the call isn't shared with your computer. The PC is only useful as a phone dialer.

1.Click the phone icon at the top of the page, next to the search bar on web.airdroid.com.


2.Dial the number in the keypad. As you start typing the number, a list of contacts with similar numbers will show up on the right. So you can also click the contact you want to call.


3.Click the blue Call button. Now you will have to switch to your Android phone to speak to the person. This is an unfortunate limitation and we suggest that you use a Bluetooth headset paired with your phone as a workaround.


4.AirDroid doesn't let you receive calls via the computer either, but you can reject calls with a text message. When someone calls, you will see a pop-up in the browser window. Click Reject to disconnect the call or Reject with message to send a text message to the caller.

- FLSoftware's MyPhoneExplorer is excellent software but it does not do what the OP has asked for.

Winnie,

I have been using MyPhoneExplorer for several years and it is excellent for syncing & for general transfers but it cannot achieve the "right click on a file in Explorer and send/share it directly to my phone" that you have asked for.

Assuming that you do not always connect by USB [which would allow the Android to appear in File explorer in its own right as mentioned by @spunk], I think the closest you are going to get is by using ES file explorer [suggested above by @cereberus].

Best of luck,
Denis
