In chrome v86.0.4217.2, there's a flag called "Nearby share" which enables nearby share support for files with android devices, Also check this article (XDA) to understand better. I just checked in edge flag page & this flag was missing.
Will edge have this feature available in future? Can you share some thoughts on this @Deleted @MissyQ ?
Edit: Above screenshot is from chrome browser.

@hussain5416 I don't have any info or news to share at this time, but it's good to know that there would be interest in this functionality!

check for urself... install the chromium browser and search for "Nearby share" flag.. the flag has already been added to the chrome browser, so if it isn't available on the chromium browser then it means that Google has no intention for allowing other devices to use this feature.(#. on off chance if it is available, then the implementation would depend on MS.
Moreover, Nearby share is an Android Mainline project pushed through Google Play Store... I don't think it will be available on open source.
