WHY IN NEWS

Google recently announced the addition of Fast Pair to Windows PCs, allowing users to quickly pair Bluetooth devices, sync text messages, and share files via the Nearby Share service. According to reports, the internet giant is working on a new feature for its Nearby Share tool. Self Share is the name of the new utility, and it will allow users to quickly send files to oneself across various devices, as the name indicates. Self Share allows you to distribute files to yourself without using email or online storage. For data transfer to Chrome OS or Android devices, the functionality is expected to use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Google's Nearby Send function will allegedly be updated to enable users to post files with their personal smartphones. An prototype signal in the Chromium Gerrit was discovered by Chrome Story, indicating the implementation of a new Self Share feature in the Nearby Share. According to the source, the latest version would enable users to use the Nearby Exchange technique to share files across their own devices. The Nearby Share menu is rumoured to contain a new 'Send to Your Devices' option once the functionality is available.

According to Chrome Uncrated, the Self Sharing functionality would go through the Chrome OS Canary development flagging phase before being sent out to the general public, and then hopefully find its way to devices other than Chrome OS. In 2020, Google announced the Local Send file exchange platform for Android handsets. Any mobiles android Based 6.0 or higher may use this to easily transfer files. Apple's AirDrop file sharing tool is comparable to this capability.

Later, the business extended it to Google Chrome for Windows users. Since then, Google has been hard at work improving Nearby Share to compete with Apple's AirDrop. The Nearby Share feature chooses the appropriate protocol for sharing files, which might be Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, WebRTC, or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. Google just announced that it is collaborating with Acer, HP, and Intel to deliver the Fast Pair and Adjacent Exchange ideas to select Microsoft PCs later this year at CES 2022.
