Microsoft has once again made its users’ life easier as it introduces a feature that will let Windows 10 PCs share files to nearby PCs with the help of Bluetooth. This feature is called “Near Share” which allows users to share files wirelessly to nearby PCs.
There are times when you’re in a meeting with your boss or you’re hanging out with your colleagues that you have to send a report quickly or share some important files or when you might have to send a screenshot or a URL when you’re playing on your laptop with your sibling or friend. And so cue in the drum roll as the new Near Share feature comes to your rescue so that you won’t have a hard time sharing reports, files, URLs and whatnots as you can now wirelessly do all of these. This article will show you how to use the Near Share feature in Windows 10.
The Near Share feature is definitely one of the new and exciting features in Windows 10 and has been made available since the RS4 Build 17035. In other words, Windows 10 PCs must be at least on RS4 Build 17035 and up and should support Bluetooth to use the Near Share feature.
In Action Center, there is a new quick action Near Share which has to be switched on. And if this quick action is not visible on the Action Center and PCs have Bluetooth, then it must be added. So obviously, the first thing you have to do is to check if it is enabled under Settings > System > Notifications & Actions > “Add or remove quick actions”.

After checking its availability, check for the Share icon in several apps like Photos, Microsoft Edge and in File Explorer. Then click on this Share button so you can view the list of devices including nearby PCs within the Bluetooth range and with the feature enabled and select the PC you want to share your file to.

The receiver of the file will get a notification through Action Center. The notification will indicate whether the receiver wants to accept or decline the file you sent. And once the receiver decides to accept the file you sent, the file will be transferred wirelessly. See? It’s definitely simple and easy to use.
Meanwhile Apple users recognize this Near Share feature as it is kind of similar to the AirDrop feature in Apple. Nevertheless, this new feature has been introduced recently in Windows 10 Build 17035 for Windows Insiders. So it is expected that regular Windows users will also get their hands on this Near Share feature in the near future.
