Quick Share is a wireless peer-to-peer data transfer utility for Android, Windows and ChromeOS. Quick Share utilizes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct to send files to nearby devices, but it could also send to any other device anywhere using the Samsung Cloud, uploading the files to a web address. Originally developed by Samsung Electronics for its own devices, Google subsequently collaborated with Samsung and merged its own Nearby Share into Quick Share in 2024,[1] distributing Quick Share to non-Galaxy Android devices through Google Play Services.
