Quick and easy content sharing is now an option between two Android 6.0 or above smartphones and eventually with Chromebooks.
(Image: Google) Google has spent years developing a very quick and easy way to share content between two Android devices, and it’s finally cracked the problem. Daniel Marcos Schwaycer, a Product Manager on Android, announced Nearby Share yesterday, describing it as « a platform to enable reliable and easy sharing across thousands of Android phone models and billions of people. » Sharing content on Android until now has meant searching for a contact, attaching a file to a message, and sending it, but Nearby Share is meant to replace that process entirely. It works by showing a list of devices « in your proximity » with which content can be shared. Tapping someone on the list will inform them you want to share a file and they can accept or decline the request.
