I believe many productivity workers still use Outlook for email. All you need to do is tap the ‘Continue on PC’ button at the bottom of the Edge browser. All the same, it helps maintain a more consistent experience. Once you do so you’ll be able to open a web page on your iPhone and continue to use it on a Surface – though I don’t think this continuity is as well-featured as you get when you use an iPad and iPhone. Once you do so you’ll need to log into your Microsoft account on your iPhone in order to link it to your Surface. ICloud will sync bookmarks between both devices, but if you want a consistent browsing experience, Microsoft recommends installing the Edge browser on your iPhone (the same browser it uses on Surface). It is also helpful if you need to access your iPhone images/videos on your Surface, PC or other devices that cannot access images in iCloud. This will automatically upload photos and videos to your OneDrive account.īe wary of this – doing so will devour your OneDrive storage space, but if you do want additional online image backup this is useful. Tip:To upload images from your iPhone you’ll need to open the OneDrive app and switch Camera Upload to On in Settings. This is highly useful if you also need to share files with devices that will run OneDrive but are unable to use iCloud Drive. You’ll be asked to sign in with your Microsoft ID, once you do so you’ll find all your OneDrive files will be made available to you in both the app and Apple Files app on your iPhone, and these will merrily sync across to your Surface and all your other Windows devices. To do so, open Files, tap Edit and then toggle OneDrive to ‘On’. You’ll also find your OneDrive inside your iPhones Files app, though you must enable this. You’ll find your OneDrive as a default place from within Microsoft applications.
You can then select what data you want to sync. Sign into OneDrive on your Surface, and then download and install the OneDrive app from the App Store and sign in on your iPhone using your Microsoft account ID. You can use this to sync content between Microsoft apps on both devices, or to automatically sync images captured on your iPhone to your Surface – copies of all your images are then kept securely on OneDrive. If you use Office 365 then you already have access to OneDrive, Microsoft’s own heavy-syncing Dropbox/iCloud competitor. Of course, with just 5GB of free data available to any iCloud user, it makes sense to employ Microsoft’s more generously portioned OneDrive service for most of your online backup if you are already in the Microsoft space.
