is there any fix for this issue ?
from neardrop.
Firstly, I thought the marriage of NearbyShare and QuickShare is a good thing, made things less redundant...
Any ideas how to research a new workaround?
On my S24 Ultra, i can confirm that none of the two workarounds to receive files from Mac are working...

@nezorflame That's not it, look for
com.google.android.gms.nearby.sharing.ReceiveSurfaceActivity
Yeah, seems that in my case it's missing
from neardrop.
As of today, with the latest version of NearDrop, receiving and sending files works for me in both directions.
Edit: But the Samsung phone is not visible to receive files without a workaround. Sorry for bringing your hopes up people.

Not sure if I missed anything but both my Samsung phone (S23 Ultra) and tablet (Tab S9+) are now able to send AND recieve, even when no other device is there in the list (unlike what @ezBeanie said)

Have you tried reading what you're commenting on?
from neardrop.
I have to correct my last statement: My S24 Ultra is only visible to share to when another regular quickshare device (in my case a windows laptop) is looking for receivers when sending a file via quickshare. When my device appears, the transfer works flawlessly.
The other way works without any hickups, i.e. sending from my S24 Ultra to my Macbook.

I'm unable to receive on my Google Pixel 6 (Android 14) from my MBP (Sonama 14.5)
The Google Files app no longer has a Nearby Share option. Apparently the new way to get there is via the 'Quick Share' quick setting in the status bar drawer but none of the toggles within (your devices/contacts/everyone) make the phone visible in my mac.
I've tried turning Quick Share off and on again, re-attempting the share after changing the nearby share 'who can share with you' toggle, no dice
Using the workaround does work but obviously not ideal:
- install Activity Launcher
- search for
ReceiveSurfaceActivity
and click the ... menu to create a shortcut to it - click that shortcut when you want the phone to be an available option using neardrop on pc

I just create hardcore shortcut which sets Nearby share to pairing mode. Set up new Requested link and type Nearby Share into search bar and simply create new shortcut. Using this app.

I didn't understand what the activity is called, can you give more information?
from neardrop.
First of all, great job with this app.
I am using the Oneplus 11 and facing this issue when sending files from my Mac to Android. The share intent keeps loading. I also have the update on Android for the quick share.
Also, I don't see the Receive option anywhere on the Google files app.

Can Confirm that this works like a charm with my Pixel 6 and M1 MacBook Air
Edit: Both ways

It looks like that the workaround still doesn't work with Google files.

Yes, could you please provide more details? I found in this application "Requested" section, but there no any items with "near" word. Do you use Samsung Galaxy?
from neardrop.
it works fine for me on my galaxy s23 & m1 macbook air. when you share, you have to press the quick share icon, it won't just pop up like other devices do, it's available under the "share to devices nearby" section.
This issue talks about sharing from Mac to Samsung. Sharing from Samsung to Mac works.

Do you mean it works on your Samsung phone with Quick Share
?

@TomBell-Trove how did you launch the activity?
Found it with the Activity Launcher, it's called com.google.android.gms.nearby.sharing.InternalReceiveSurfaceActivity
.
But I'm unable to launch it - it throws the "PermissionDenial" exception.
