- Chrome OS currently does not support peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, but it looks like that will change soon.
- This will allow Quick Share (formerly Nearby Share) to work faster than it currently does on Chrome OS.

Google’s Chrome OS operating system has many neat features that help integrate your Android phone with your Chromebook. Most of these cross-device features are under the Phone Hub umbrella, but there’s an additional feature that you’re probably already familiar with if you frequently share files between Android devices: Quick Share.
Quick Share (formerly Nearby Share) lets you share files between Android devices, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs. Just like on Android, the feature is baked into the operating system on Chromebooks. Unlike most Android devices, though, Chromebooks lack a key connectivity feature that enables the fastest transfer speeds for sharing files through Quick Share, but that’s set to change soon.
