# How-To
|
|
## Share files directly from context menu on Windows
|
|
### Registering to open files with PairDrop
|
|
The [File Handling API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/how-to/handle-files) is implemented
|
|
|
|
This is still experimental and must be enabled via a flag **before** the PWA is installed to Windows.
|
|
1. [Enabled feature in Edge](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/how-to/handle-files#enable-the-file-handling-api)
|
|
2. Install PairDrop by visiting https://pairdrop.net/ with the Edge browser and install it as described [here](faq.md#help--i-cant-install-the-pwa-).
|
|
3. You are done! You can now send most files one at a time via PairDrop:
|
|
|
|
_context menu > Open with > PairDrop_
|
|
|
|
[//]: # (Todo: add screenshots)
|
|
|
|
### Sending multiple files to PairDrop
|
|
Outstandingly, it is also possible to send multiple files to PairDrop via the context menu by adding PairDrop to the `Send to` menu:
|
|
1. [Register PairDrop as file handler](#registering-to-open-files-with-pairdrop)
|
|
2. Hit Windows Key+R, type: `shell:programs` and hit Enter.
|
|
3. Copy the PairDrop shortcut from the directory
|
|
4. Hit Windows Key+R, type: `shell:sendto` and hit Enter.
|
|
5. Paste the copied shortcut into the directory
|
|
6. You are done! You can now send multiple files (but no directories) directly via PairDrop:
|
|
|
|
_context menu > Send to > PairDrop_
|
|
|
|
[//]: # (Todo: add screenshots)

## Share directly from share menu on iOS
|
|
I created an iOS shortcut to send images, files, folder, URLs or text directly from the share-menu

|
## Share directly from share menu on Android
|
|
The [Web Share Target API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/share_target) is implemented but not yet tested.
|
|
When the PWA is installed, it should register itself to the share-menu of the device automatically.
|
|
|
|
Please test this feature and create an issue if it does not work.
