But we hope that this feature will come to the regular version soon and everyone can use it without installing the dev build. If you want, here is a step by step guide to tell you how you can enable this feature on Google Chrome.

Even if does not ask you to relaunch the browser, restart the browser after enabling the Nearby Sharing feature.
Once you relaunch the browser navigate to chrome://nearby to enter nearby sharing user interface.

You can now enable nearby sharing on Google Chrome and share the files between your PC and your smartphone using this feature enabled. This is a really great future if this makes it up to the regular version of Google Chrome.
