Google reportedly working on a cross-platform version of Apple's AirDrop

Dubbed as Copresence, Google is tipped to be working on a new service that will let Android devices share media with those nearby, even if they are running on iOS. An Android Police source spotted the information while digging around the new Google Play Services APK. Copresence will make use of location information or Bluetooth to authenticate based on proximity. This will be unlike Android Beam that needed contact list approval. It will reportedly let you share information via Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi direct and it would probably have strong integration with Hangouts chat app as seen in the graphics uncovered in the APK.
