If you’re an iPhone user and switched to Android, one feature you’ll likely miss is Apple’s AirDrop. Now, you can seamlessly transfer files between nearby devices using Android’s Quick Share.
Samsung users may be familiar with the name from a similar feature released in 2020. Now, Google and Samsung are collaborating to make a sharing solution that works on all Android devices. Formerly known as Nearby Share, Quick Share allows you to easily share files, website links, videos, and other media between your Android devices. With the tap of a button, you can see a list of your devices and any nearby devices to send files to.
Google is also actively working with manufacturers like LG to bring Quick Share to Windows PCs. You’ll need an active internet and Bluetooth connection if you’re sending files using a PC, however, you can send files offline if exchanging files between Android devices. Quick Share’s all-in-one file-sharing platform removes the confusion of using sharing features offered by different mobile manufacturers, so you can send files hassle-free.
