<p>All,</p>
<p>I will demo this at the June Windows 11 meeting.<br>
</p>
<p>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.<br>

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

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

<p>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.<br>
