FAQ
--------------------------

### My Android device doesn't see my laptop

Make sure both your devices are on the same WiFi network. mDNS communication should be allowed on the network; it may not be the case if you're on a public network (coffee shops, airports, ...).

### My laptop doesn't see my Android device

For some reason, Android doesn't broadcast it's mDNS service all the time; even when in "Everyone" mode.

As a workaround, you can use the "Files" app on your android device and go to "Nearby Share" tab (it it's not present, continue reading).

A second workaround, you can download a Shortcut maker (see here) to create a shortcut to the particular intent:

- Method A:
- Activity: `com.google.android.gms.nearby.sharing.ReceiveSurfaceActivity`

- Method B:
- Action: `com.google.android.gms.RECEIVE_NEARBY`
- Mime type: `*/*`

_Note: there's a current WIP to add a BLE advertisment in RQuickShare to overcome this._
