Google will now let you share files with yourself. You no longer need to email yourself. Google has updated its Nearby Share feature and will now allow users to share files with their other devices, Chromium Gerrit noted.  The Self Share feature will be integrated into Nearby Share and is to be launched soon.

Nearby Share allows users to instantly transfer files, music, videos, to other Android and Chrome OS devices. Nearby Share works similarly to Apple's AirDrop feature. However, Self Share will focus on sending files across your own devices without cables, online services, or third-party software.
