    Nearby share is awesome, but I’m eagerly waiting for a Mac client. Or a chrome client for now would be fine as well. So still using LocalSend for now (which has clients on most platforms).

    Neat.

    Nearby Share has been a mess for me compared to the experience I have with Airdrop that I usually just get out the USB-C cable for file transfer instead, hopefully this will make life easier and give people more options.

      I wonder if is possible to connect two Android devices with a USB-C cable and share files between them.

        I’ve done it; results are…flaky at best, YMMV

        I can’t tell if it’s just my cable or my Pixels being… Pixels, but transferring from one to the other had frequent dropouts, elevated temps, high drainage, and sometimes disabled USB transfer until you plugged and unplugged again.

        Might not be an issue on flagships or other OEMs but idk
