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.
