How to Share Files from Windows 11 to Android with Nearby Sharing
You can share files from Windows 11 to Android using the built-in Nearby Sharing feature, which allows wireless transfer over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Right-click the file on your Windows 11 PC, select “Share,” and then choose your Android device from the Nearby Share list. Ensure Nearby Sharing is enabled in your Windows settings and your devices are linked via the Phone Link app.
Nearby Sharing is a convenient tool that lets you send documents, photos, and other files directly between your Windows PC and your Android phone without cables or cloud services.
To enable this, you’ll first link your Android phone to your PC using the Phone Link app, which requires the “Link to Windows” app on your device. This functionality is readily available in Windows 11, with improvements noted in builds like 22631.4112.
