If you have familiarity with smartphone technologies, you must have heard of the AirDrop feature. Normally, this feature is found on iPhones and other Apple devices. It allows the users to easily transfer a file from one device to another. Similar to that technology, now Android devices have also the Nearby Share feature. It helps the user to transfer any file between multiple Android devices.
It’s working is simple. When you initiate the sharing process on your device it will look for nearby devices. If someone is within 6 feet distance of your device then he can easily receive the file that you send on their device. This will work fine in your home or your office. The transfer will use various popular protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi, Hotspot, etc.
