Nearby Share lets you easily and securely share files between nearby Android phones, tablets and Chromebooks, whether they’re photos or videos or even entire folders. 

- In the next few weeks, you’ll be able to use Nearby Share to effortlessly transfer files across your own devices. 

- Just select Android devices logged into your Google account from the sharing menu to quickly share files between them.

- Once you’ve opted in, transfers between devices you own are automatically accepted — even if your screen is off.

Also, thee company said that it recently introduced a new look and updated Google Workspace apps for bigger screens and now it is continuing to optimise users' favourite Google apps on tablets to make multi-tasking a breeze, starting with redesigned widgets for Google Drive and Keep.

"With an updated Google Drive widget, three home screen buttons now offer one-touch access to your Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Sheets files," the company said.

"And in Google Keep, a bigger widget and font size makes note-taking, to-do lists, and reminders easy to access," it added.

The company has added many new Emoji Kitchen mashups, available as stickers via Gboard. To bring people closer, the company said it is also adding new shared experiences in Google Meet.
