Google preps new Self Share feature for Nearby Share on Chrome OS - XDA Developers

According to a recently merged commit on the Chromium Gerrit (via Chrome Story), Google is also working on improving the Nearby Share feature on Chrome OS devices to help users seamlessly share files from their Chromebooks to a phone or a tablet logged into the same Google ID.

This adds a feature flag for Self Share to Nearby Share!

Although Google hasn’t shared any official information about this new Self Share feature in Nearby Share, we believe that it will give users easy access to other devices connected to the same Google account on the Nearby Share screen.

The Self Share feature in Nearby Share should work alongside the upcoming Camera Roll feature in the Phone Hub on Chrome OS devices, which will let you share photos/videos from your phone to a Chromebook and vice-versa.

The Self Share feature flag should make an appearance in an upcoming Chrome OS Canary release
