[Closed] Can't share files from the files contextual menu

Hello,
With Windows 11, the contextual file menu lets you share files with other computers in the same network.
It works fine with Windows 11 Explorer, but when I try to do it with Multi Commander, nothing happens.
Is there anything I can do?
thanks

I can't reproduce that..
MC do not have a direct connection to onedrive, It is using the filesystem layer Windows has for the onedrive folder. So MC see it just as normal files.
Are the file synced offline ?
or are they just fake place holder files ?

Thanks for the answer.
I have the problem on all files, even those who are stored on OneDrive.

I'm talking of the share with the nearby:

Not the one from Onedrive

I don't even get that option in Windows Explorer so I don't know.
Might be that it is very tight connected to Windows Shell. Most Windows tool works without the Windows Shell, some does not. and MC is not built on top of windows Shell.
But Don't know. I never seen that option in the popup menu.

it's an option that must be activated in Windows, it's explained in this link :
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/share-things-with-nearby-devices-in-windows-0efbfe40-e3e2-581b-13f4-1a0e9936c2d9
In the section "Change your settings for nearby sharing"
It's really very practical,it means you don't need a USB key when you want to exchange files between PCs.

MC do not have any control over those Windows things. In the context menu all MC does is to tell Windows to use command X from the context menu with this files that are sent to it.
Might be that that window require a more tighter connection to the windows shell.. some Windows features do that. but since MC is not built on-top of the Windows Shell, it cannot do that.
