Subject: Nearby Share Enhancement Request: Expanding Reach and Functionality

Dear Google and Samsung (Android developers team)
As a senior mobile developer, I am writing to propose significant enhancements to Nearby Share, aimed at broadening its reach and significantly improving its utility.  While currently a functional tool, its full potential remains unrealized.
I recommend focusing on the following key areas:
 * Seamless Cross-Platform Interoperability (Android <-> iOS):  A critical enhancement would be the implementation of robust and seamless file sharing between Android devices (including Samsung's implementations) and Apple's iOS/iPadOS ecosystem.  This cross-platform capability is essential in today's diverse mobile environment and would position Nearby Share as a compelling alternative to Apple's AirDrop.
 * Optimized Android-to-Android File Sharing:  Enhancements to core Android-to-Android file sharing functionality are also crucial.  This includes a focus on improving transfer speeds, reliability, and overall ease of use.  Specific optimizations for handling large files and multiple file transfers simultaneously would greatly benefit users.
 * Seamless Integration with Android TV (e.g., Google TV 4K): Extending Nearby Share's capabilities to Android TV devices, such as the Google TV 4K, would unlock a new level of user experience.  Enabling seamless sharing of photos, videos, and other media directly from mobile devices to the television would significantly enhance home entertainment scenarios.
These proposed enhancements would dramatically improve user experience, interoperability, and the overall value of Nearby Share.  The demand for efficient and seamless file transfer across a range of devices is substantial, and a comprehensive, unified solution would be a highly valued addition to the Android ecosystem.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Pooya Mohammadhossein (Ryan)
