This app allows you to use the Windows 10 / 11 built in "Nearby Sharing" feature from your Android device.
You can send and receive files, links or plain-text via the native android / windows sharing menu.

Ratings and reviews

Used to be a very good app to send/receive files to/from Windows. After recent update the "Send" QS tile is gone and "Receive" QS tile no longer open the receive tab Edit: the beta/github 1.11.1 build only fixes the tile for Samsung One UI (at least on 8.5). All my AOSP like rom phones from Android 11-16 just simply crashes by pressing the "Receive" tile. Making the issue worse. Had to rollback to 1.10.0 from github

It's great and thanks for developing this. Please fix these for a better experience. 1.) Issue with files >90MB transfer in PC stops at 99% because in the phone it's 100% which means the task is complete and the connection gets terminated. Can fix this bug. 2.) Only one file can be selected for each transfer directly through the app. But possible from Gallery. 3.) Please add a receiving feature. Once again thank you very much.

Flawless. I was looking for an alternative for SendAnywhere, due to the high amount of ads being added to the app. This is amazing, it uses windows's Nearby Sharing functionality and files transfer almost instantly. There are no ads and is much faster than anything I've used. Highly recommend it for those who regularly transfer files to their Windows PC and want a clutter free, easy to use experience. Highly worth it.
