The Googlebooks include a file transfer trick you probably didn’t know about

The recently launched Googlebooks features include Quick Access functionality, allowing seamless file management between a paired Android phone and the Googlebook. Users can access their phone's Downloads, Documents, and Camera folders through the Files app. Quick Access supports drag-and-drop for files under 200MB, while larger files should use the Quick Share feature. Another feature, Files AI, provides instant descriptions of files and enhances file searching by allowing users to search for an image's subject rather than just file names. Users need a device running Android 17 or newer to utilize these features, and Files AI may take up to an hour to activate and has limitations during low battery conditions.

Windows 11’s June patch added a strange Recycle Bin bug, but there’s no need to worry

In the June 9, 2026 Patch Tuesday update for Windows 11, users experienced a bug where the Recycle Bin's confirmation dialog for permanent deletions displayed internal file names (e.g., $Rxxxxx.ext) instead of original filenames. Microsoft acknowledged this issue in its documentation for Windows 11 version 26H1. The Recycle Bin still correctly shows original filenames, and restoring items also uses the original names. This bug arose after installing the June security update (KB5095051), but file management remains functional. Microsoft plans to address this issue in a future update.

Android files now appear in Windows File Explorer, no cable necessary

Microsoft has updated the Phone Link app to integrate Android storage directly into File Explorer for Windows 11 and 10 users, allowing access to Android phone files without a USB connection. Users can see their Android device in the left sidebar of File Explorer, navigate through its storage, and transfer files easily. Deleted files from the Android device are moved to a Recycle Bin folder for 30 days before permanent deletion. The Windows Search feature can be used to locate specific files on the Android device. To use this feature, users must have the latest versions of Windows 11 or 10, update the Cross-Device Experience Host in the Microsoft Store, ensure their Android device is running Android 11 or newer with the Link to Windows app updated to version 1.24071 or later, and verify that their phone is linked to their PC.
