It's titled: Use Nearby to interact with what┬ around you https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6260286?hl=en Saying: Nearby helps you find and interact with services and devices close to you (within about 30 m or 100 ft). Nearby discoveries" uses only low-power Bluetooth to detect broadcasts around your device. "Nearby apps" uses a combination of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and inaudible sound to detect devices around your device. But, apparently it's not useful for file transfer. So, if Nearby doesn't work for that OP, then maybe Android Beam will. Use Android Beam to share content by NFC https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2781895
