Google's Nearby Share is now officially available on Windows 11. This means that you can now use Nearby Share to share files, links, and more with other devices nearby, even if they are not running Android.

To use Nearby Share on Windows 11, you will need to have the latest version of the operating system installed. Once you have the latest version, you can open the Settings app and go to System > Nearby Share. Here, you can turn on Nearby Share and choose which types of content you want to share.

To share a file or link with another device, open the file or link and click on the Share button. Then, select Nearby Share from the list of options. Your device will scan for other devices that have Nearby Share turned on. When you find the device you want to share with, click on their name to send the file or link.
