this is kind of nice. the only problem is that i hate keeping bluetooth enabled on my pc. i mean i am logged on, on my phone. i am logged on, on the pc. both devices are on same wireless network. but the app still requires bluetooth i assume to ensure nearby status of the devices. transfer is pretty fast.

it's kind of amazing this app got launched. google does not really launch actual native applications on windows or macos these days. except for chrome and drive apps, i can't think of any other native app that exists today.
