It's working for me from Phone to Computer, but not in the other way around

It is working for me from Phone to computer, too. However, it fails for some arbitrary file types like *.csv files.

For me, the change to QuickShare has broken NearDrop completely for me. Doesn't work either way. Was working perfectly fine before though. Hope we get a fix for this, grishka!

If only someone actually offered any ideas how to fix it.

The only way to fix it is probably to recreate things like links in macOS.

Update: it's working again with android 13 but only sending from android to mac, not the opposite. i haven't done anything. it still doesn't work with android 12 and 11

(it requires bluetooth and gps enabled)

I can send from Android to MacBook just fine using a Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra.

When sending from MacBook to Android, neither of my Samsung devices appear. However, if I start Quick Share on my S23 (as if I'm attempting to send a photo), my S23 Ultra will appear available on the MacBook, and vice versa when I start Quick Share from my S23 Ultra, then the S23 will appear available on the Mac. 🤯

By triggering Quick Share on one phone it makes the other available to the MacBook, likely triggering a BLE advertisement.

@grishka, not sure if this helps at all but when doing the above it works successfully sending from MacBook to Android.
