Local P2P file sharing is easier than ever.
Google has tried local P2P file sharing before, and it never really took off. Now, Google is conducting a limited beta test of an OS-level solution called Nearby Sharing. Jason Howell has access to the beta feature and walks through what it is and how to use it.
• How Apple handles local file sharing with AirDrop.
• Google's first effort, Beam, never took off.
• Which devices can use Nearby Sharing.
• How to opt into the Play Services beta.
• How to transfer a picture or video using Nearby Sharing.
• A bug is present that should be addressed.
