Personally I use send anywhere it's on every platform and you don't need Wi-Fi I can do direct share and there's no limits to files can be videos torrents or anything else and it's completely free. Better than Google's nearby share which is limited.. I think some of you guys might like it.. RIP Kevin Mitnick Genius and Teacher

And it existing means you can find an archive with old versions of apps, right? Or are you one of those who thinks he needs to be "up to date" with every single software out there, despite not needing to be online to use this specific feature. Just use an older version before the buyout 4head lmao, how is that supposed to be an issue. And before you come back at me saying stuff like "but those places are shady and might tamper with the app and add spyware on it!!!!!!" learn what checksums are and how to detect changes from the original file.

You're still missing the fact that you're connecting to Google servers, so they're still mining your data which is how they get the "over 50 million files transferred" numbers data, which means you need an active internet connection to use this stupid "feature", get real.

It would great if it ever worked. Maybe 20% of the time it can find my phone when I'm sending a file from my computer, but the transfer never goes through. And my phone can never find the computer when I'm sending a file. And yes, all the discovery options are enabled. So I'm stuck with plugging in or using Bluetooth file transfer. (I've had issues with the number of thumbnails causing the Windows file explorer to crash.)

"For Windows computers running a 64-bit version of Windows 10 and up. ARM devices not supported."
Lmao, dead on arrival.
There have been many third party solutions for decades now, that use protocols such as FTP and LAN, no need to be connecting to google servers or having an internet connection at all to transfer files between phone-computer, and it even works between phone-phone (ARM devices).
For anyone interested, it's called "ES File Explorer", which has been delisted from the Play Store for some reason (probably because they don't want you to do these features so they can implement them later and be proclaimed saviours lmao)
So why would you use an inferior alternative that restricts user OS and architecture?

Seriously, but I really hope that Google and Microsoft can work together on this to make Nearby Share integration in Windows' share feature. But eh, Apple fanboys will still defend their Airdrops feature anyways.

"Since the launch of the beta, Google says it saw over 50 million files transferred between PCs and Android devices."
Wow.. Good data mining Google!
Unlike Apple, Airdrop.. secure and fast. Transfer using Wifi after establishing bluetooth. Regardless of internet connection or not.
