I have the reverse problem (win10 devices/iphone) and it has become enough of an issue to convince me to switch to android. Its ridiculous how Apple treats non apple devices as third-class citizens.
- sgt 6y agoHow would you send a file using Android (without access to an already existing network)? I asked someone with an Android phone the other day and apparently it's not practical.

- nethunters 6y agoWiFi direct - so long as the connecting devices support it and there's no requirement to be connected to the same WiFi network. Works a treat transferring from Android to Android or Windows 10 and it isn't proprietary.
- culopatin 6y agoThe fact that someone would have to Google how to do this is what Windows is lacking. I built a hackintosh and bought an iPhone after I got tired of those disparities and disconnections. Why can’t Windows just work with Android already?
- nethunters 6y agoFor Windows 10 yes, but for Android it's in the share context menu, so easy to use in fact that my mum and dad have been using it for years to send each other videos and pictures of trips and outings at blazing fast speeds, for them it's just magic as it works and they don't need to understand what's happening under the hood or fulfil any technical prereqs.
- sgt 6y agoI have a Lenovo Android device here for testing purposes, fairly new (runs Android 9). Could not find anything like that in the UI.
- nethunters 6y agoWhen sending, it should appear under the share menu when you share something and to receive you just need to go on WiFi direct which can be opened under the WiFi screen.
