Usage
The Nearby Sharing feature requires that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth be turned on in your PC, however, you can restrict who may access your device and give you files to ward off any potential spam messages. You can select whether to make your computer accessible to everyone, your contacts, your own devices only, or no one at the present under the drop-down box for the device visibility setting. An Android device will be able to exchange files with your computer whether the programme is open or merely running in the background until you select the last option.
Applicability
Users have to drag and drop files into the Nearby Share app or right-click them and select the Nearby Share option to send them from their PC to an Android phone. Transfers are automatically accepted even if the recipient’s screen is off if you own both devices and they are both logged into the same Google account. Please keep in mind that the distance between the two devices must be no more than 16 feet.
Availability
With a few exceptions, Google has made Nearby Sharing available in the US and the majority of other nations. Additionally, it stated that although the beta software currently only supports Android smartphones and tablets, it will eventually be compatible with all devices within the company’s ecosystem.
