Fix: Nearby Sharing Not Working in Windows 10
Nearby Sharing under Windows 10 is a feature available in version 1803 (updated April 2018) that allows you to transfer files and links quickly and wirelessly via Bluetooth and a network connection.
The functionality is very simple. To send a file or link to another device, simply go to the Share experience (right-click on the file or Microsoft Edge’s Share button) and select the device to which you want to send the content. The receiving device will then receive a notification of acceptance or refusal of the transfer. If the user accepts the transfer, the file is downloaded to the Downloads folder or the link opens with Microsoft Edge. The only reservation regarding nearby sharing is that it will not always work as expected due to software and hardware compatibility, connection quality limitations, and more.
