Google launched Nearby Share in 2020 to offer Android users a quick and easy way to share files between nearby devices (smartphones, tablets and chromebooks).
Now, the company is extending Nearby Share to work between Android devices and Windows computers, launching the beta version of the app in several countries, including Greece and Cyprus!
How to use Neardy Share
Using Nearby Share Beta for Windows is incredibly simple: download and install the app on your computer and…that’s it.
You can now send photos, videos and other files to Android devices (and vice versa), whether the app is open or simply running in the background.
Right-clicking a file brings up the «Send with Nearby Share» option, and clicking it displays a list of nearby Android devices that already have Nearby Share enabled. If you have the app open on your computer, you can transfer files by dragging and dropping them.
For Nearby Share to work, WiFi and Bluetooth must be enabled on your computer. To prevent unwanted messages, you can choose who can «see» your device and send you files. In the drop-down menu for the device visibility setting, you can choose to make your computer visible to everyone, only your contacts, only your own nearby devices or no one for the time being.
