Nearby Sharing Beta: Testing Android's Own AirDrop Solution
Local P2P file sharing is easier than ever.
Google has tried local P2P file sharing before, and it never really took off. Now, Google is conducting a limited beta test of an OS-level solution called Nearby Sharing. Jason Howell has access to the beta feature and walks through what it is and how to use it.
• How Apple handles local file sharing with AirDrop.
• Google's first effort, Beam, never took off.
• Which devices can use Nearby Sharing.
• How to opt into the Play Services beta.
• How to transfer a picture or video using Nearby Sharing.
• A bug is present that should be addressed.
