Google announced today that its Nearby Share app for Windows PCs is now officially available. Nearby Share makes its easier to share files across your phones, tablets, Chromebooks and more devices. A PC version of the app has been in beta since March 2023, and is now officially available. The tech giant says the beta version has been installed by more than 1.7 million people, and that it has seen over 50 million files transferred between PC and Android devices since launch. Users must enable their PC's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions in order to use Nearby Share for Windows. Once you have set up the functionality, you will be able to drag a file into the app or right-click it and select the Nearby Share option to send it to a device near you. Devices that you're transferring files between have to be within 16 feet of each other. Google first launched Nearby Share to let you move files between Android devices in 2020, and even then, the feature felt like a major catch-up move; Apple released AirDrop for iOS and macOS all the way back in 2011. Google has also brought Nearby Share to ChromeOS to make it easier to share files between Android devices and Chromebooks. Read more -here-
