Download Nearby Share Beta For Windows ((EXCLUSIVE))
Jasmine Chism
Nearby sharing in Windows lets you share documents, photos, links to websites, and more with nearby devices by using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. You can share files between PCs that are running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
That said, I wouldn't use it anyway. Opening holes in my desktop's security just to enable nearby share isn't worth it. I can quickly plug in my phone with a usb cable that's always connected to my PC if I need to transfer anything... Plus I also have OneDrive on my phone and PC.
Yes it was integrated into the canary and dev channels of Chrome, but not into the release version. My point is: Chrome could do what this new Nearby Share app does. With the links I'm more focused on the user interface than the functionality. How its sending and receiving links is of course fundamentally different to nearby share, but if you already have the necessary UI work done to do one thing, why not add the necessary functionality and include nearby share in the already existing UI.
