Google’s Apple AirDrop alternative, previously known as Fast Share, is now known as Nearby Sharing.

This feature is integrated directly into the Android 10 interface and users basically select the content, click on “share”, and then choose “contacts geographically close to you”.

To have this option appear, both users must have set their status to visible. You then select the desired contact and the file is transferred once that user authorizes the transfer. For now, Google’s Nearby Sharing appears to be exclusive to Android 10 (and higher) and integrated inside the operating system rather than being just an overlay.
