If you are looking for a way to share files between two Android devices, one of the best ways you can do this is by using Nearby Share. The feature also works on Chromebooks, making it an excellent offering for those who just want to have a seamless experience sending files from one device to another.
Well, Google has finally decided to release Nearby Share for Windows. The app is currently in the beta process, but I have downloaded it and used it, and yes, it works really well if you are looking to transfer files from your PC to your Android or the other way around. It is simple, and most importantly, it is super-fast.
Nearby Share on PC works like a charm and takes a few seconds to setup
Now, it is worth noting that Nearby Share is not available in all regions in the world. For those who are interested in trying it out, you can download it from here. Install it, and you are good to go. You do not really need to go ahead and make any settings or adjustments to how the app works.
At the time of writing, this Nearby Share app's functionality is limited at best. You can adjust settings such as your device's visibility, renaming your PC, and changing the download location, but that is about it. Even the interface is pretty simple. You can have a look at it below.
Moving onto the process of sending and receiving files, this is perhaps one of the smoothest. I managed to send a few files in mere seconds. However, it is worth noting with apps such as this that this highly depends on factors such as device, connection speed, and even the file size you are sending, but if you have used Nearby Share in the past, you should know that it actually works really better.
Sadly, the Nearby Share is currently not available in a few regions and if you are running an Arm device, you are out of luck because, in its current stage, the support simply is not there. However, we are sure that Google will be updating the app further as we move forward, and hopefully, we will have all the features necessary in this otherwise excellent app.
