Installation and Setup

To get this app up and running on any modern Windows 10/11 PC, users simply need to visit the app’s official page on the Microsoft Store and click on the “Get” button.

This will initiate the automatic download procedure for a 150 MB app, although after installation, it will take around 250 MB of local storage.

During the installation, the app will ask the user which service mode they wish to operate with (China-only or Global device support) and will offer convenient links for installing the GlideX apps on iOS and Android mobile devices.

Once both apps are installed, users are logged into the app using the same credentials, and all devices are on the same network (Wi-Fi, USB, or Ethernet), then users are free to follow the on-screen prompts to pair devices.

The connection is quick and usually requires no additional configuration for ASUS devices, while non-ASUS phones will need some permissions enabled for full functionality.

How to Use

After setup is completed and the devices are successfully paired, the app unlocks access to a user-friendly dashboard where users of all technical knowledge levels can easily select different functions like screen mirroring, file sharing, or remote control.



Connecting is as simple as opening the app on both devices and selecting the desired connection mode!

File transfers work via a drag-and-drop interface, while screen mirroring activates instantly with a single click. The app also allows users to manage notifications, calls, and messages directly from their PC, minimizing distractions and improving workflow efficiency.

User Interface

The app features a clean, modern UI with clearly labeled icons for each function, making navigation intuitive even for first-time users.



The main dashboard displays connection status, available devices, and quick-access tools, with easy-to-use navigation links to tabs such as Home, Cross-device Operation, File Transfer, Communication, Shared Cam, Remote Access, and App Streaming (not fully accessible on iOS devices).
