How to transfer files quickly on Windows 10 with Near Share

There are many ways to help users transfer, send files or contents on a PC such as using cloud computing or applications and websites. However, Microsoft introduced a fast file sharing feature integrated in the next version of Windows 10 called Near Share that helps users no longer need to use intermediate services.

This feature is similar to AirDrop on MacOS but it is based on Bluetooth and not Wi-Fi. Besides, it requires users to send and receive files to be within Bluetooth, and must have a Bluetooth compatible computer.

Using Near Share in Windows 10 helps to share files quickly

First, you need to enable Near Share in the Action Center's Quick Settings section. If the quick task does not display immediately, check at Settings> Notifications & Actions> Add or remove quick actions .

Open the application you want to import shared files like Microsoft Edge, Photos, File Explorer or applications that allow Near Share.

On the page or application containing the shared content, find the Share icon (In File Explorer, you can find this icon by right-clicking, and in the Photos app, it's usually on the top of the screen . ). You will see a list of devices at the top, select the PC you want to share (any PC in the Bluetooth range that has the Near Share feature turned on).

The recipient will be notified to allow the request and content to share wirelessly.

Note: This feature only works on devices running Windows 10 RS4 Build 17035 or higher.
