Microsoft still has tricks beyond just ads and AI: Windows 11's File Explorer set to get a slick new 'Shared' section

Woman working from home with child.

It looks like Microsoft is still making time to work on functional improvements to Windows 11, such as a recent update to File Explorer - and I’m not just talking about its enthusiasm for holistically peppering adverts all over the operating system and integrating AI into every part of it. The new development is looking to add a ‘Shared’ section into File Explorer and is currently being tested with Windows 11 beta users. 

The new File Explorer section is included as part of the Windows 11 Preview Build 22635.3640, available through the Beta Channel of the Windows Insider Program. Even if you install this preview build, the feature is disabled by default and has to be enabled using ViveTools, an open-source software that allows you to test out experimental features.
