In spite of the huge differences between Linux and Windows, sharing files between the systems is surprisingly easy. Here’s a look at two very different ways to make this happen.

You can access Windows Subsystem for Linux files using Explorer on Windows 11/10. Open Explorer from WSL Terminal or launch the root from Explorer.

Tom installs and uses Edge DX to monitor his WSL Linux instance and explains how to access files from and to Windows systems.

Not familiar with Linux? The reason why the concept of the file system might seem foreign is that neither MacOS nor Windows offers options with regard to choosing which file system you want to use.

Believe it or not, it’s possible to open a Linux terminal on a Windows 10 system and you might be surprised how much Linux functionality you’ll be able to get by doing so.
