Google’s Nearby Share feature could gain a so-called Self Share mode soon.
This would remove the need for approving shares between your own devices.

Nearby Share is Android’s own take on local file-sharing, inspired by Apple’s Air Drop feature. However, one mild annoyance is that you need to approve each incoming share, even when sharing files between your own devices. Fortunately, it seems like Google is working on a solution.

Former XDA-Developers editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman has uncovered the existence of a so-called Self Share mode for Nearby Share, detailing his find on Twitter. Check out his screenshot below.
