Android’s Nearby Share arrives on Windows in beta

Announced back at CES 2022, Google has now finally introduced Android’s Nearby Share to Windows. The app comes as a beta and enables file transfer between Android devices and Windows PCs.

The Nearby Share for Windows is in beta and can be downloaded from android.com. The app supports Windows 10 and newer versions. However, there is no support for ARM devices as of now. Both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi need to be enabled on the PC, and the two devices should be within 5-metre proximity.

“Whether it’s sharing a photo, link or document, there are many ways Nearby Share can help you throughout your day,” reads the blog post.
