TROUBLE CONNECTING? WE'LL HELP Nearby sharing requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If a device doesn't appear, the built-in Connection Doctor checks your network, permissions, VPN, and settings — then points you to the exact fix. No more guessing. PRIVACY FIRST Local Send collects no data. No accounts. Your files stay between your devices, on your network, under your control. Open Local Send on two devices and send. It's that simple.
