I tested Microsoft's new Android phone in Windows File Explorer feature and now can't imagine how I lived without it.

    Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. With Microsoft found having uploaded peoples files to OneDrive because they felt like it and jamming advertisements all over their OS, there is no fucking way in hell I’m giving a Microsoft app any access to my files.

    Google is bad enough, I got into using Android from the beginning to break free of Microsoft shit. Microsoft has proven to be a very shitty steward for their users.

    If you just want the file explorer feature, windows also supports ftp, though it’s a bit hidden. You can get an ftp server app on android and use ftp://phone-ip on the file explorer path input to access the phone’s files.
