What is NearbyShare for Linux?

The app is built for everyday desktop use: it runs in the tray, can be shown/hidden instantly, and sends desktop notifications for transfer events. In Send mode, you select a file, discover nearby targets, and share in a few clicks. In Receive mode, your device becomes visible to nearby devices so incoming transfers can be accepted automatically (optional setting) and tracked live.
