\"computers<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, you’ve just bought a new Android with one of best Samsung\nGalaxy cases<\/a>. You expect the device to work seamlessly and improve\nyour workflow, but you realize that it’s really difficult to exchange files\nwith your computer. In 2020, why is this an issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, Samsung and Microsoft have been working on a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August last year, the companies announced they would be partnering more closely.\nIn reality, a move like this was key for Samsung, as the company would\notherwise struggle to compete against giants like Apple and Google. This tight\npartnership meant both companies would focus on making Android mobile apps more\ncompatible with PCs. Rather than enabling your mobile device to do a PC\u2019s\ntasks, and potentially replace computers altogether, now the goal is to make\nthese devices work together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision to link devices and PCs is the right move. Today, more people\nare working remotely, across different locations and on-the-go, which means\nwork is stored on phones, tablets and computers. Microsoft\u2019s goal<\/a> to eliminate the\ngap between phone and computer is less about saving you time and more about\ntransferring files across all devices easier and more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three reasons why you should pay attention to the Samsung and\nMicrosoft partnership and how it benefits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Your Phone App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Your Phone App, which comes pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10,\nenables you to Sync an Android phone with a PC or MAC, as long as it uses\nWindows. Once the devices are synced, the app will store information from your\nphone on your computer, allowing you to read and reply to text messages and\nview photos from your device\u2019s library. Similarly, you can edit files with the\nability to drag and drop from computer to device and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the August launch, the companies announced that the Your Phone App will\nnow send the notifications it sends to your phone to your computer as well.\nSince then, Microsoft has updated the app again so that users can act on those\nnotifications, too. Now, the Your Phone App isn\u2019t limited to text messages, but\nit can also handle Twitter and Whatsapp notifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) DeX Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Samsung\u2019s DeX software was initially designed so that your phone or tablet\ncould replace your computer. You would plug your phone or device into a\nmonitor, and then use a mouse and keyboard to operate it like a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When tested this turned out to be impractical, as finding a mouse and\nkeyboard to pair with your device or phone ended up being more hassle than\ninitially thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you plug your phone into the computer, and the software brings up a new\nwindow in which you can access all of your phone\u2019s apps. With the updated DeX,\nyou can control your phone remotely from your computer, accessing all of its\napps and transferring files between the two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Bundling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Samsung\u2019s latest Galaxy Note 10 device, Microsoft Office apps such as\nWord, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook are already installed. This kind of\nbundling began on the Galaxy S6 and returns after a temporary hiatus from the\nGalaxy S9, and Samsung has since moved to pre-install OneDrive as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bundle of apps gives access to programs and files that normally are\nexclusive to a computer. This makes working on-the-go easier, and you can pick\nup where you left off when you get back to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All of these new updates are going to make accessing data and sharing files\nmuch easier – no more emailing files back and forth!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
