![]() If all 3 want to be on different channels, you will miss messages - it's a guarantee. The same radio is used for Bluetooth, p2p WiFi, and your normal access point connection and it must be time-shared accordingly. This upgrade can fail for a multitude of reasons. Note that urls and very small files will immediately send over Bluetooth. Even after falling back to Bluetooth, the devices will continue to attempt to upgrade to WiFi in the background, but some failures are unrecoverable and the file will fully send over Bluetooth. A grace period of 10sec is given for that upgrade before fallback mechanisms kick in and the file is sent over Bluetooth as a last resort. Nearby Share will always attempt to upgrade to WiFi before sending files larger than 1MB. Is it meant for handshaking purposes in Web RTC? I'm really curious to know why is an internet connection required to transfer files when Nearby Share is meant for file transfer without Internet. There are three modes: Data, Wifi Only and Without Internet. I'm also curious to know the various modes of file transfer present in Nearby share. So if the files are transferred via bluetooth there is no point in using Nearby Share. The sole purpose of Nearby Share itself is to achieve fast file transfer with wifi direct and without internet. So why does a built-in functionality like Nearby Share should use bluetooth. A lot of third party apps including Google Files use wifi direct to transfer the files. I'm curious to know why should the files be transferred via bluetooth when it can be transferred via wifi direct. ![]() But later I realized that the files are itself transferred via bluetooth. Initially I thought Bluetooth is used only for handshaking purposes. ![]() Sometimes it is not at all handy to transfer files that are more than 100 MB. ![]() To me it looks like neither Microsoft nor Google are interested in sacrificing their own technology to each other in favor of a better user experience.Ĭan Linus please scream into the camera on WAN show for a minute and smash his phone onto the table as he always does? Makes me at least feel better seeing him being just as mad as I am about this crap.Nearby Share sometimes uses bluetooth to transfer the files because of which it is very slow. They clearly want a tighter integration of Android within Windows.Īnd Google? It's great that they launched this beta and the app does work really well, but where is the integration with Chrome? Chrome has already functionality built in to send and receive website links to and from Android devices. Microsoft also decided to advertise Phone Link directly in the setup process of Windows 11. Why is it not possible that Microsoft's technology works with Google's? Clearly both companies are interested in working together, as Microsoft has released the "Phone-Link for Windows" app a few years ago, which does not only help you to send files between Android and Windows devices, but also makes you able to make calls on your Windows device. Windows has "Nearby Sharing" literally built in. Yet another app for a functionality that both OS' already support. You’ll have to switch on your PC’s WiFi and Bluetooth for the feature to work, but you can choose who can see your device and send you files to fend off any potential spam messages. You can download it right now from the Android website, as long as your computer is running the 64-bit version of Windows 10 and up and isn’t powered by ARM processors. ![]()
