• An iPhone® running iOS 16 or higher.
• Link to Windows app on your iPhone ® (version 1.24112.73 or later).
• Phone Link version 1.24112.89.0 or later.

If you already have your iPhone® paired with Phone Link, you can set up file sharing by going to aka.ms/addAccount on your Windows PC.

How do I share a file/files from my iPhone® to my PC?

How do I share a file/files from my PC to my iPhone®?

2. Right-click on the file and select “Share.”

Known Issue

If you have not paired your iPhone® with Phone Link before, and do not already have the Link to Windows Application installed, you will be presented with the option to “Get Link to Windows” on the phone to set up file sharing during setup. After tapping “Get Link to Windows” a pop up may show to install the Link to Windows App. After installing the app, if tapping “Open” in the pop up does not redirect you into the Link to Windows app and to the next step of set up, tap instead on the App Icon in the pop up. This will take you to the Apple App Store where you can tap “Open” to go to Link to Windows and continue setting up file sharing.
