Mac Users Rejoice: Android's Nearby Share Unofficially Available!

Android's Nearby Share now expands its compatibility with Mac devices through a third-party tool This Google-made feature allows seamless file sharing between Android devices, Chromebooks, Windows PCs, and now Macs, making cross-platform sharing more accessible than ever

A new unofficial tool has been introduced, allowing Mac users to access Google's Nearby Share feature. Dubbed NearDrop, the tool enables wireless sharing between Mac computers and Android devices or Chromebooks. It provides a convenient solution for individuals who prefer the Mac interface but still require the ability to transfer files wirelessly.

However, there are some limitations to consider. Although Nearby Share supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC, the current unofficial tool only enables file sharing to your Mac via Wi-Fi. Additionally, file sharing is only possible from your phone to your Mac and not vice versa. It's worth noting that the tool will always appear as "Visible to everyone," so it's advisable to activate it only when sharing files. Despite these caveats, the tool is an excellent addition to simplify your life. You can easily download it from the GitHub repository.
