## Overview
LDPlayer’s Shared folder feature links a folder on your PC with the Pictures folder inside the emulator. Files you place in one folder appear in the other. This guide shows how to move files in both directions without installing extra software.
## Why this works
The Shared folder maps a PC folder to a folder inside the instance. Both sides see the same files, so you do not need a cable, a cloud drive, or a file-transfer app. Files you move into the PC Shared Folder appear in Pictures inside LDPlayer. Files you move into Pictures inside LDPlayer appear in the PC Shared Folder.
## Security note
Security note: Anything in the PC Shared Folder can be read and changed by apps inside the instance. Files you move into Pictures inside LDPlayer also appear on your PC. Keep sensitive files out of the shared folders, and delete the files you no longer need. To revert, remove the files from both folders when you finish.
## What to expect
Files should appear in the other folder after you move them. If they do not, close the Shared folder window, open it again, and check the folder once more.
## Verify
A file you move into the PC Shared Folder appears in the Pictures folder inside LDPlayer. A file you move into Pictures inside LDPlayer appears in the PC Shared Folder.
## Common mistakes
- Expecting files to land in the Android root folder. The Android side opens Pictures.
- Keeping sensitive files in the shared folders after the transfer.
- Expecting non-picture files to show up in Pictures without moving them there.
## Notes
- To export other files from LDPlayer, find them with the File Manager app inside the emulator.
- An image you drag in from your PC also lands in the Pictures folder.
- The source says files in Pictures can be shared with apps such as WhatsApp and Instagram.
