This very new feature on Windows will make file sharing easier. Much like AirDrop, Near Share will let Windows 10 PCs share documents or photos to PCs nearby via Bluetooth. The Near Share option will be available in the notification center and the feature can be accessed through the main share function in Windows 10.

The feature requires; both the devices should be running Windows 10 and must have this build installed. It works over Bluetooth; if Near Share is enabled on your PC, you will see a share icon in the apps you use. After you click on share, you’ll see a list of devices in Bluetooth range that you can share to and recipients will receive a notification when someone is trying to send a file.
