so this not happening to anyone else ?

Am I the only one that finds interesting stuff on the go and wants to send to desktop pc for later reading ?
Help, anyone ?

Too bad your superpower canā€™t fix browsers. Heheh. :wink:

No seriously, Iā€™m messing with the same feature right now and having the same issue. When trying a send/share from Android 11 to macOS 10.15.7, nothing happens on the mac. As for the other direction, I donā€™t even see a share/send option on the mac.

All other items appear to be syncing OK.

PS- Iā€™ve been using Pushbullet for this purpose for years. It works well, but I was hoping maybe I could dump it for this feature. Iā€™ve ignored the share ā€œtabsā€ option since Brave Sync v2, cause I assumed the tabs would always be shared across devices --which I do NOT wantā€“, but if I can simply send what I do want to share, that would make me happy.

In hours since my prior post, I now have a ā€œSend to Google Phoneā€ option in my Brave right-click menu in macOS. To send a tab, it took about 30 seconds for the notification to hit the phone.

As for Android to macOS, that still isnā€™t working. However, open tabs on the Android are now visible within Braveā€™s history menu on macOS.

I also have problems with this feature. My sync chain is properly set up, but no devices are showing up when I want to share a page from my android phone to my windows laptop. I have always used pushbullet for this, but it would be nice if itā€™s baked in in the browser because pushbullet is not one of the first options in the list and I always have to go looking for it.

I am facing the same issue. Sending from mac to android phone still works ļ¼ˆtakes 10-30 sec to receive the notificationļ¼‰ but sending from Android to Mac does not work at all.

I have faced another notification related issue. I use buyhatke extension for price drop notifications on websites like Flipkart, Amazon. But unfortunately, I do not get notifications on brave.

So basically, for these 2 reasons, I am forced to come back to Chrome. Both work fine on Chrome

Yeah, I tried it again, and I still donā€™t see URL sending from Android to Mac working. I use Pushbullet instead. Alternatively, if you have Sync configured, you can pickup any open tabs on Android in your Mac history, in the ā€œTabs from other devicesā€ section.

As for your second issue, it might be best to submit that as a separate forum post.

Same problem here.

I just never posted anything about that because I think they knowā€¦ The issue has been reported on Reddit, here and Github for weeks/monthsā€¦ but nothing changes.

I tried to find the answers from dev team but never found one.

ā€œwait and seeā€

In the meantime Join works pretty fineā€¦

Iā€™m having this issue on Android. Is it still a problem for others? It says I need to enable sync in the settings, but that is already done and the devices in my chain are listed.

Yup, same issue, whenever I try to send a tab from android to other devices on sync chain(mac and windows), the app crashes on android. The issue is not on mac/windows as Iā€™ve tried removing each one of them from the chain separately. The issue persists for both Brave(public) and Brave(beta) releases of the android app. If only the issue could be taken up seriously by the devs/community

I am also facing the same issue. I tried sending a new link to an Android device, and nothing happened.

I tried the same thing with Chrome, and it worked perfectly, as expected. I donā€™t know why itā€™s not working with the Brave browser.

Here I am going through the same problem. I think the admin must work on it. Otherwise, the website lost the image in the visitorā€™s eyes.

hi i might help you
i got a solution but it may take time
so basically go to sync in setting on both device then tap on sync everything
next step is to go to the device you want tabs to tranfer like tabs on a phone, now simultaneously open


open this web on pc and let it afk
go on your device the tabs are on and then start loading them one by one it may take time but this the only way i found out

now as per this ss click on open all only ONLY after you see all your tabs in the TABS FROM ANOTHER DEVICE tab.
keep in mind YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM IN A AYNC CHAIN
AND I ONLY KNOW TO SYNC TABS BETWEEN ANDROID AND PC
SO IT MIGHT NOT WORK IN OTHER
AND YOU CAN ASK ME OF ANY PROGRESS ON MY PERSONAL EMAIL [email protected] dont spam just lemme know if it works for you
if it doesnt we will find another way
