Google has just released the beta for the Android Nearby Share app for the Windows PC platform. The app was introduced as a means to offer a simpler method of quickly sharing files between your own devices, and is finally making its way to Windows.
The Search Engine giant had first launched the Nearby Share app back in 2020 for easier and faster file sharing and is now expanding to include the PC platform. According to Google, nearly 3 billion active Android devices can use Nearby Share to swiftly send and receive files between Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks. And now, the new Nearby Share Beta offers users a way to send and receive files from their Windows PC.
This is made possible thanks to the beta app to make the transfer of files easier. To work seamlessly, the beta app runs in the background so you don’t need to manually run the app every time for transfer files. The data transfer includes files like photos, videos, and documents that can simply be dragged and dropped into the app. Users can also click on the “Send with Nearby Share” in the right click menu. Following this, one will see a list of all nearby Android devices and can select the one they wish to transfer the files to.
As of right now, Google has just announced the Nearby Share beta for Windows in the US and certain other regions across the globe. Also keep in mind that ARM powered devices are not supported at the moment. But for those interested, you can try out the beta on your Windows PC by click on the link here.
