Nearby Share is a Windows software for moving files from the desktop to Android smartphones and vice versa. Users can transfer music, photos, video clips, text documents and other types of data wirelessly and without any other third-party applications.

Exchange process

Similar to Your Phone, this utility automatically detects nearby devices and lets you select the hardware for file sharing. There is full support for the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi protocols to ensure high speed transfers and stable connection.

Data security and privacy

The safety of the personal information is one of the main Google priorities. All files are encrypted for preventing external attacks and interception attempts. Moreover, users can manually choose who will see their devices or completely hide the smartphone from the network.

Usage tips

It is necessary to update the Google Play app on both the desktop and phone to use the program. The next step is to import all required files, click the Share button and select the Nearby Share option from the menu. A new notification will pop up on the receiving device.
