Through Nearby Share, Android users can share files wirelessly with their PCs, whether they are desktops or laptops, and through Android's native menus. Google initially limited the feature to only a few countries, with a primary focus on the US. Now, according to Google's support page, Nearby Share Beta for Windows PCs is available in the US and most countries globally, however, support is currently not available for Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria.

Users can easily set Nearby Share Beta for Windows by just downloading and installing the app on their PCs. Users then be able to send files to nearby Android devices or send files to their PC based on their device visibility preferences. Meanwhile, Google has rolled out new Material You design for its Nearby Share app on Android phones and tablets.
