Nearby Device Share
Design the Nearby Device Share surface for a mobile system share flow. The user has already chosen a file and is now looking for a nearby recipient to send it to.
The main view should combine a radar-style discovery area with a device list. Some devices may be close, some farther away, and each one needs a clear way to start sending from this screen.
Once a device is selected, the surface stays in place and shows per-device sending progress. That progress should feel tied to the chosen device, not like a generic upload bar.
This is a system-level moment: it needs to read fast, support quick selection, and still make it obvious what is happening if multiple nearby devices appear or one starts transferring first.
What to deliver
- Design the default nearby discovery state with radar and device list.
- Design the selected-device sending state with visible per-device progress.
- Design a busy state where multiple nearby devices are shown at once.
- Design a no-devices-found state with a clear next step.
- Design a transfer-complete state for the sent device.
Use one visual language for proximity and transfer state: keep the radar for discovery, then anchor the active device in the list with a live progress treatment so the user never loses the target.
