Guys. I am using s23 ultra. I tried windows link and tried to copy file from phone to windows. But i couldnt do it. I see only option for drag and drop for photos clicked by camera. But for rest of the content it is not possible. Guys please let me know if anybody knows about it. 

I am really dispointed with windows link experience. I mean its really not flexible and mainly allow accessing app from windows. But content sharing is still pain..

Come on samsung can you please improve this?

Open the Phone Link app, and select Photos. If they aren’t showing up, select Refresh at the top and wait a few seconds.

To do more with a particular photo, select it and then choose from the options at the top.

Select Open to view the photo and make edits, Copy to create a duplicate, Save as to save it to your PC, or Share to send it to another device.

As you take more photos on your phone, the Phone Link app will remove older photo previews from your PC. It never changes or deletes any photos on the phone itself.

Dear Samsung. Thank you for trying to answer my query. But my question is not about, "i am not able to access or use windows link"
I said i am able to share photos and messages with phone and pc.

Also copy content of photos in windows pc from mobile.

But documents like pdfs docs etc files i cant share to pcs. I can open my files. But i cant drag and drop or copy paste files from mobile to phone. So not all use cases are covered by windows link.
