    Knowing Microsoft it’s probably more like a cloud upload tray.

    Did they fix the explorer context menu yet?

      Used Win 11 at work recently, the explorer context menu still requires you to go through submenus to get to things like 7Zip; things I use constantly and aren’t in a sub-menu in Win 10. I’m not sure why Microsoft decided to ‘improve’ the context menu in the first place.

      Edit: Apparently you can shift-right click to get to the functional context menu right off the bat.

        i hate that some items are just icons now. i rarely use 11 in school but if i wanna for example copy using the context menu i can’t find them and then i have to put down the coffee to use ctrl+c/v/x. until i remember they are icons…

        That’s a problem with 7zip, they haven’t updated it to fix that. Other apps like it have, a fork of 7zip with a more modern UI called NanaZip has it.

        Try Shift+right click next time…

        That is a menu that gives you even more options than the classic menu (well, at least one more, “Run as a different user”)

    I’m not sure if this is good or bad, but every time they add a feature, all I can think of is the unfinished Control Panel --> Settings conversion that started in Windows 8, back in 2012. Microsoft seems to have a pathological inability to finish projects before they mess with something new (to leave it undone as well).

    TBH if done right, this could actually be cool. Let’s see how it goes and whether it will arrive in KDE.

      Kdeconnect, just right click send to phone ? Or just open the phone as if it’s another folder.

        You know, there can be different patterns for the same use case ;)

    You could drag and drop in windows XP, 7, vista, 10…this is not new. Now you just have some stupid popup to add complexity to what was once just drag and drop.

      I will never use this feature but it IS new. Not the same as dragging files into an open email window (which still works, I assume)
