    Great, now partner with Microsoft and merge it with Windows so the majority of Android users might finally stop emailing themselves, or sending files through their messaging app of choice

        Google has a Nearby Share beta for Windows. W If that’s not your cup of tea, Pairdrop works okay too.

          Microsoft also has their “nearby devices” sharing stuff for maximum confusion.

        Good choice, although I prefer rsync for wireless and adb for wired transfers

        In the end, it’s all kind of the same thing. You are uploading a file from device A to someone else’s computer and then downloading to device B instead of directly sending files between devices A and B.

    IMO if they could make the options more easily understood or let users select the way the files needs to be shared.

    I have often found that Nearby would be using F* Bluetooth to send files.
