How to Use Nearby Share on Samsung
Charudatta Updated on Apr 13, 2022 Filed to: File Transfer With a new feature dubbed Nearby Share, Google, the company that developed Android, is finally taking measures to make sharing easier. Nearby Share looks for devices that are close by and then chooses a protocol based on what you're sending and your internet connection. If you're fully offline, it'll use peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, but it also supports Bluetooth, Hotspot, WebRTC, and other sharing protocols.

1Check to see if both smartphones are close enough together
When both the sending and receiving devices are nearby, Nearby Share will work. Both phones must be within 30 centimeters (11.81 inches) of each other for Nearby Share to work, according to Google's support page. The devices should be within proximity of one another so that the sending phone can identify the receiving phone, make connections, and transfer files without interruption.
2Restart your devices
In modern technology, one thing that hasn't changed is how a fresh restart can sometimes solve a problem.

Because many low-level issues are terminated when your phone is rebooted, and the system deletes the device's cache and logs during the restart process, this is the case.
3Make sure no one else has access to the devices material
If none of the following alternatives work, at least one of the devices is likely to be in active-sharing mode with another phone.

Google doesn't support multiple devices sharing with Nearby Share at the moment. You won't be able to connect with that busy device using 'Nearby Share' if one phone is actively sharing content (even without Nearby Share) to another device. As a result, you must guarantee that the sending or receiving device is not currently exchanging content with anyone else.
