Windows 10: "Share" Button missing in File Explorer for Nearby Sharing

I enabled the Nearby Sharing option from the action centre, but cannot find any Share button in the Share tab of an explorer!


How can I use Nearby Sharing?

Nearby Sharing missing in 1803

I am trying to get the Nearby Sharing feature working in Windows 10 1803 build 17134.81. My laptop has an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265.

When I right-click a file and choose Share, I just see "No contacts? No problem", Mail and OneNote as options for sharing the file. The section for share to nearby device is missing. Similarly when I share a page from Edge, I see only the contacts section,
copy link, Mail and OneNote.

I have turned on nearby sharing in settings -> system -> shared experiences.

 

How can I share with "Everyone nearby"?

In version 1709 in Settings, System has a Shared experiences setting. It appears that by selecting "Everyone nearby" in the "I can share or receive from" list, I should see other shareable devices other than just my own. But, when I click the Share button
in Edge, I cannot find an option to do so. Should nearby devices show under "Connected Devices" or am I missing something?

Hi,

You can try the following procedures in the links below:

Open Settings >> Click on System >> Click on Share experiences >> Turn on the Nearby sharing toggle switch.

Also, Check if is enable Nearby sharing using Action Center:

Open Action Center (Windows key + A).

In the Quick actions section, click the Nearby sharing button.

Please let me know if this helped and works.
