Comments on Nearby Sharing for Android

★★★★★ ThePixelDude · Aug 24, 2024

This is actually better than Google's own sharing app, and it works flawlessly on my pc, but I would like to have a toggle for receiving files in quick settings, and if the devs can add the ability to share and receive files via Hotspot, then it will be amazing. But other than that, this is a very good app. Edit: I found the app in the sharing menu, so yeah 😅

I don't know why, but I am just amazed by this app when it works. The user interface is clean and simple, following the design elements of Material You, blending seamlessly with the operating system through its beautiful yet simple pop-ups. I still don't understand why Samsung and other Android devices don't support Nearby Sharing to Windows 11.

Useless, I did everything that I can to share photos, but I couldn't do that

★☆☆☆☆ Roxanne Horelica · Jul 5, 2025

I just want to search the apps that I want...now I'm at the mercy of no choice

★☆☆☆☆ FFsfs SDASds · Feb 24, 2025

It crashing every time I trying to send something

★☆☆☆☆ David BroGaymer · Mar 4, 2026

Genuine unusable garbage, no transfer status on PC, no error message codes. Impossible to troubleshoot and therefore impossible to use. Worthless. I hesitate to recommend it, but use Link to Windows for local android to PC file transfers instead.

Useless not easy to connect even don't waste time find alternative
