Similar to Apple’s AirDrop, Google released the Near Share feature for Android device owners a few years back. It allows users to easily share content with other Android devices through a streamlined and simple process.
Since Nearby Share uses a device-to-device transfer process, it lets you share content without a cellular Wi-Fi connection. When transferring content, Nearby Share automatically chooses the best protocol for speed and efficiency, whether it’s Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, or Wi-Fi Direct.

With this feature, you can share content with other nearby Android devices instead of sending an email or text message. While you can’t send files to everyone nearby, you can share them with anyone in your Contacts list.
Files like videos, photos, documents, links, and social media posts will work with Nearby Share. It is a simple and easy way to share files. Now you don’t need to compromise on poor quality by sharing photos from any third-party apps.
Google Nearby Share is now available on all Samsung devices running Android 6.0. In this article, we will see how to use Nearby Share on your One UI 4.1-based Samsung smartphone. If you need some tips on how to use this feature, go through the steps mentioned below.
