Google has its own counterpart to Apple AirDrop, and here's how it works on Android smartphones

Google is also working on technology that is similar to Apple AirDrop. At first it was called Fast Share,

However, as a result, we settled on Nearby Sharing.

How it works

Nearby Sharing is a technology for fasttransfer files between devices via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi have decided to team up to create a wireless file sharing system, and Samsung is also almost ready with such a Quick Share service.

Unlike other companies, Google's technology will be able to work on all Android smartphones, and not on gadgets of a specific brand.

XDA Developers have already tested the new feature by running it on Google Pixel 2 XL and Google Pixel 4 smartphones. And it works!

Most likely, Google will not delay the official release of Nearby Sharing. Perhaps the technology will be presented at the Google I/O 2020 developer conference, which will be held from May 12 to May 14.
