Nearby Share For Windows And Android File Transfer

Nearby Share lets you quickly send files, links, and photos between Windows PCs and nearby Android devices without an internet connection. It creates a secure connection over Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi, so transfers are fast and protected. The tool is designed for everyday sharing—from documents to images—while keeping controls simple and immediate. Use Nearby Share for one‑off exchanges or larger batches. On Windows you can right‑click files to send; on Android the share menu connects to visible devices. If you need extra configuration or are looking for the Android package, search for nearby sharing android apk to find official distribution notes and setup guides. Help articles cover common scenarios such as how to send apps using nearby share and how to share files using nearby sharing. Getting started requires just a few permissions: enable Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, and nearby visibility on both devices, choose a device name and set your visibility preferences, then accept transfers when prompted. For privacy, you can limit visibility to contacts or to specific time windows. If you use both Windows and Android regularly, Nearby Share streamlines moving content across devices without cables or cloud uploads.
