[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Android phone to windows file sharing

[Drew King]

All,

I will demo this at the June Windows 11 meeting.

This software is still in beta and I have it installed on two machines 
and so far it works flawlessly. It's written by Google.

It lets you use the Android nearby share feature that normally only 
nearby shares with other Android phones with Windows computers also.

If you select and long press text or a hyperlink or a file, android pops 
up a window and there is an icon that symbolizes sharing that is a 
three-way star looking thing and then nearby share will be one of the 
options. When probably installed, your Windows computer will show up as 
one of the devices that you can send the file or hyperlink to.



You can send text that you select on your Android app, and you can also 
send hyperlinks in addition to files.

There is also a separate Android software program in the Google Play App 
Store that lets you do the same thing but only in one direction . 
Developer is working on two way. The big difference with this software 
program is you don't need to install or modify windows in any way 
whatsoever. The application on Android can send files to windows that 
have nearby share enabled. Nearby share on windows must be enabled for 
this to work.

Nearby Sharing Windows 10 / 11
