- Google has released the Nearby Share for Windows beta app.
- This allows you to seamlessly send and receive files between your PC and Android device.
- The app isn’t available in Europe just yet, though.
Nearby Share is right up there as one of the best ways to send files between Android devices and Chromebooks, but the feature was missing on Windows. This meant you had to use email, cloud transfers, a cable, or other methods to transfer files between your PC and Android device.
Fortunately, Google has finally brought Nearby Share to Windows as part of an open beta program. This indeed allows you to locally (and wirelessly) transfer files between your PC, Android device, and/or Chromebook.
