One of the most useful tools in the Apple ecosystem is undoubtedly AirDrop, through which you can share almost any file very easily and quickly. It arrived in the Apple ecosystem back in 2011, thanks to which the vast majority of us already take it for granted and everyday bread. But did you know that Google did not offer anything similar to its Android users and decided to do so only now?

That Google is preparing its own version of Apple AirDrop has been rumored for years, but it's only now that this gadget has found its way onto Android. It's called Nearby Share and it works practically the same as AirDrop – for sharing files between users who are nearby. All sharing takes place over WiFi, through which the devices are connected to each other. However, it should be noted that this is only their own WiFi network, which in other words means that the function works without an Internet connection and therefore de facto anywhere. According to Google, all file sharing should be completely secure, so this gadget can be used to share practically anything.
Nearby Share isn't bad with compatibility either. The function will be available from Android 6 and above, thanks to which it will reach a really wide range of phones. However, as is usual with Android, its expansion will take place gradually, so the world will probably have to wait some Friday for its greater expansion. However, we dare to say that waiting for such gadgets is worth it.
Just so it works with Air Drop and vice versa, that would be...but I know it won't be
The headline "Android users have had their fill, Google gave them a copy after 9 years" Air"Dropu" is a completely classic title in the performance LSA. As always, poor scumbag about flaming in the comments. So that there are as many clicks as possible and the crumbs roll. :D
I say this as a person who has everything from Applu… I'm sorry. It just generates completely unnecessary definitions and divisions between people into android/ios sheep. And yet we are all just technology fans with the same pronoun... :-)
Reasonable opinion on this site?? A HERETIC. :D
👍👍
Exactly! LSA nestThey are interested in discussion, but also in real HATE and therefore also in displaying ads = money. So basically they are happy for real FLAME, just let it boil like a cauldron, and most importantly, let us make as much money as possible on those "stupid" haters.
btw: I have Adblock, otherwise you can't even read it here, it's covered in ads, so LSA I can't even support it, even if I wanted to. I turn off AB on other websites when they only have reasonable advertising in a decent strip in the header or footer, but here, terrible wallpaper, like on a carousel at a fair, disgusting :-(
This function has been in Android for some time - WiFi direct is a standard that Google added a few years ago, before adding a client to it. That file Apple would alreadyoneThe government could have implemented a standard instead of closed solutions that just throw sticks under users' feet :-(
Okay, you're right, dude. Moreover, the editor reveals a significant lack of knowledge about the competing system - no one knows about the copy/equivalent of middrop. nestThese options have been available on Android for several years (as part of the OS extension for most manufacturers), including remote access, e.g. via FTP.
ftp access is u apple maybe from the beginning :D
Well, I don't want that at all :).
No, AirThe drop arrived with iOS 7 in 2013. Please fix it.
I don't want to argue with you, but according to my search, it really arrived nine years ago, with the fact that it was initially only available on Macs (from 10.7). But I will try to check again.
I left after 10 years. iOS and switched to Android. In which the author is completely right, that on Android there is nothing like something that works well Airthere was no drop. (I take it natively across several manufacturers and not, for example, from Samsung - Samsung and so on... because there are different functional solutions). I personally missed this a lot, but I especially miss something that is standardized and would work together on all platforms. It feels different to me, as if a new continent is emerging now. What was possible even in 1998 (obviously not in this form), is not possible now. However, even back then you could send this and that via infrared, you could print via infrared, then Bluetooth came along, where you could send anything to each other, then the time came when it was invented that you couldn't send everything via BT, because copyrightoneno ). But you should note that it mostly worked with each other between different brands. What should have been brought to even greater perfection a long time ago and it should be easy. But then, we would have to live in another world...
Wifi direct has been available on Android since ancient times.
Even then, Google provided its own graphics client, who needed a driver for this, had to install Send Anywhere or another of the many wifi direct clients.
I personally don't need it for anything, I share the data via cloud.
Well, there is probably no point in commenting on this embarrassment.
before it reaches at least 25% of phones, and it can be used at all, Google will cancel it again
Too bad the bump ended years ago! …. I haven't found a better sharing app since
Users launched the 'client', selected a file and tapped their phones together.... and it was already flying.
