Unofficial app enables Nearby Share between Android and macOS.

An unofficial app called "NearDrop" has been developed by grishka that allows macOS devices to receive files from Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks using Nearby Share. However, it only works in one direction and requires both devices to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The app also requires the Mac to be set to "Visible to everyone" at all times, and changing visibility settings is not possible. Users must enable notifications for NearDrop in the "System Settings" section of their Mac to confirm transfers. There are inherent risks in installing software from an unidentified developer, so users should be cautious.
