How To Send Files from Phone to PC With Android Nearby Share

Android to PC

Sending files to and from an Android device can be irksome at times. Sure we can use Bluetooth file transfer, which is slow, but reliable. Or we can email the files to ourselves, save them to a cloud service etc. Is there a better way to do it?

Android has just released a beta for Nearby Share, a Windows app that enables quick and easy file transfer between Android and Windows devices. The best thing is that we only need to install the Windows app. Android has featured Nearby Share since Android 6 and it seamlessly integrates into the Share feature found in many apps.
