Earlier this year, we saw Google test a new “Self Share” mode for its Airdrop-competitor Nearby Share on Chrome OS that lets users easily share files between their own devices. Now, it seems like the tech giant is aiming to bring the same Nearby Share feature to Android users. Check out the details below to find out more.
According to recent findings by Esper’s Sr Technical Editor Mishaal Rahman, Google has added the ability to share files between devices that are signed in with the same Google account using Nearby Share on Android. Rahman took to Twitter to report the new feature, along with a screenshot showcasing the same. You can check out the tweet below.
Nearby Share’s “self-share” mode will let you quickly share files to other devices signed into the same Google account without needing to approve the share. This hasn’t rolled out yet from what I can see, but it’s present in the latest version of Google Play Services. pic.twitter.com/wdtxoiE2oz— Mishaal Rahman (@MishaalRahman) April 19, 2022
