App for Windows PCs is now officially available. A PC model of the app, which makes it a cinch to share documents among gadgets like Android phones and Chromebooks, has been in beta for some months, however it is now equipped for high time.
Nearby Share for Windows, to be had as an app download on PCs across the world, has now been installed by more than 1.7 million people.
With images and videos being the most popular file types to send, we’ve seen over 50 million files transferred between PC and Android devices since launch. No need to look for any cables or cords sharing media to your own devices or with nearby friends and family is possible with just a few clicks.
Google first released Nearby Share to allow you to 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 introduced Nearby Share to ChromeOS to make it simpler to share files between Android devices and Chromebooks.
There were a number of other new functions, as usual, but Stage Manager especially introduced the iPad nearer than ever to a Mac or Windows PC experience. iPadOS 17, on the other hand, is a more diffused update. That’s usually the case, with one year bringing big new functions and the next providing tweaks and balance improvements.
To use Nearby Share for Windows, you’ll need to allow your PC’s WiFi and Bluetooth functions. Once you’re set up, you just need to pull a file into the app or right- click it and select the Nearby Share choice to send it to a nearby device.If you’re logged into the same Google account on PC and your Android phone (or tablet or Chromebook), transfers will automatically be accepted on the receiving device.
