To share files from Android to Windows 11 through Nearby Share from Google, use these steps:

1. Open Google download page
2. Click the Get started button to download the Nearby Share app on your computer
3. Right-click the BetterTogetherSetup.exe file and choose the Open option

• This action will install the app on your computer!

4. Click the “Use without an account” option

Alternatively, you can use the “Sign in” button to set up the experience with your Google account, but it’s not required.

5. Specify a device name in the “Visible to others as” setting.
6. Click the Receiving option.

1. Choose who can share files with you. Options available include “No one,” “Everyone,” “Contacts,” and “Your devices.”

For the purpose of this guide, I’ll select the “Everyone” option, but you should choose one of the other options that are more private.

8. Click the Back button from the top-left corner.
9. Click the Done button.

8. Select the “Receive from everyone” option from the top-left side.
9. (Optional) Check the “Keep everyone mode on all the time” option. Otherwise, the device will become hidden, and you won’t be able to find it from your phone.

10. Open your Android phone.
11. Open the Photos app (or an app with the file to share).
12. Tap on the picture to share.
13. Tap the Share button.
14. Tap the Nearby Share button.
15. Choose the Windows 11 devices on the phone.

16. Click the Accept button from the Nearby Share app on Windows 11 to complete the transfer.

Once you complete the steps, Nearby Share will transfer the files from your phone to your computer, more specifically in the “Downloads” folder.

Alternatively, you can also share files from within File Explorer by selecting, right-clicking, and choosing the “Send with Nearby Share” option from the context menu.
