The Send to option in the file/folder context menu is a handy function available in the Windows operating system to quickly send files/folders to external drives, create desktop shortcuts of files/folders, create ZIP files, and share files via Bluetooth and email.

In Windows 10 and earlier versions, we can perform a right-click on a file/folder to access the Send to option. Selecting the Send to option shows Bluetooth file transfer, Compressed(zipped) folder, Desktop (create shortcut), Documents, Fax recipient, and Mail recipient options. We can also add custom locations to the Send to menu to take its functionality to the next level.

However, in Windows 11, the Send to option does not appear when you right-click on a file or folder. This is because Windows 11 ships with a modern context menu that does not show many options by default.
