Since Google has officially brought the PC version of its Nearby Share file transfer function out of beta, you can use all of the tool's capabilities and ensure that there are no issues. In March of this year, Google released the initial beta version of the PC version of the function, and it appears that the company is now satisfied with how the tool has evolved and has decided to remove it from beta testing.

You may download Nearby Share for PCs for any Windows device running Windows 10 or 11. The software is available from Google as a.exe file that can be downloaded and installed. Nearby Share has been available on Android phones for a few years now, and this tool is basically the AirDrop version for Android users.

From one phone to another, you may wirelessly exchange photographs, documents, music files, and more. People will soon be able to transfer data from a PC to an Android phone thanks to the same capability.

Here are the steps to use Nearby Share on PCs:

- Install the Nearby Share programme on your Windows computer after downloading it.
- Use your Google ID to log in.
