How I easily transfer files between my Android phone and Mac

QuickDrop is a free file transfer application designed for sharing files between Android and MacOS devices. Users need an Android device, a MacOS device, and a shared wireless network to use the app. Installation involves downloading QuickDrop from the Google Play Store on both devices. To transfer files, users launch QuickDrop on both devices, select the MacOS device from the list on the Android device, choose a file to send, and accept the transfer on the MacOS device. For sending files from MacOS to Android, users must add QuickDrop to the MacOS Share menu, enable it, and then select it when sharing a file.

Windows Is Testing a New Feature That Makes Sharing Files Much Easier

Microsoft is piloting new features in Windows 11, focusing on file sharing and search functionalities as part of the Windows Insider program. A notable enhancement is a drag tray that simplifies file sharing by allowing users to drag files to the top of the screen, revealing frequently used applications for easy transfer. Users can also access a "More" button to open the Windows share menu for additional options. Additionally, the Windows Search functionality is being improved for Copilot+ PCs, enabling users to find cloud-stored photos using descriptive terms, currently available for personal OneDrive accounts with plans to support third-party cloud storage in the future. To try these features, users must enroll in the Windows Insider program and ensure hardware compatibility with the beta version. They can register on the Microsoft website and follow prompts to join. Participation involves installing beta software, which may lead to potential issues, so backing up data is recommended. Users can experience the drag tray and new Start menu views by selecting the beta channel and updating to Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4950 (KB5052078). The enhanced search feature is available through Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3291 (KB5052080) for Copilot+ PCs, which is currently an optional update but will be promoted to recommended status later this year. The update also includes improvements to Windows Recall and a new Trim tool for editing screen recordings using the Snipping Tool.

I never click any link on my Android phone without using this app first

URLCheck is an open-source application for Android that enhances link management by intercepting links before they are followed, allowing users to view, modify, or disregard them. It integrates with the VirusTotal API for threat checking, although users must sign up to use this feature. The app removes tracking tags and unnecessary redirects when sharing links. To set up URLCheck, users need to download it, select it as the default browser, and enable preferred modules. While URLCheck improves security, it does not guarantee complete safety online and requires users to exercise caution. The app only intercepts links from applications that redirect to a browser, and users must use the share menu to check URLs within their browser.

Google Play Store to remove peer-to-peer ‘app share’ functionality

Version 44.1 of the Google Play Store has removed the "Share apps" feature, which allowed users to share installed applications via Nearby Share. This feature was introduced in early 2021 and enabled app transfers without internet or mobile data usage. The change was noted by 9to5Google in the official changelog, and while Google has not commented on the removal, there are speculations about security concerns related to potential malware distribution. Users can still share apps using Files by Google or third-party file sharing applications.
