Sharing large files on Android is a complicated task. You often need to use third-party apps or rely on cloud storage to share them. Things might be different if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone. You can use the Quick Share feature to exchange large and small files with others who own Samsung phones.
While Samsung phones come equipped with Google’s Nearby Sharing function, Quick Share is a much better alternative if you want to share files with your Samsung Galaxy phone. If you’re curious to know more about Quick Share and how you can use it to send or receive files, this guide has all the answers you need. So check it out.
Quick Share is a file sharing feature exclusive to Samsung Galaxy phones. It is quite similar to Apple’s AirDrop feature. You can use it to share photos, videos, links, or any other type of file with nearby Samsung phones using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. And the best part is that you can share files with up to 5 different Samsung phones at the same time.
Samsung announced Quick Share in 2020. The feature is available on all Galaxy phones running Android 10 or later and Samsung One UI 2.1 or later. Besides Samsung phones, you can also use Quick Share to exchange files with some Samsung laptops running on Windows.
See how you can use Quick Share on your phone to exchange photos, videos, links, and files with other Samsung phones.
Getting files using Quick Share is pretty straightforward. You need to enable Quick Share and allow nearby phones to connect to you. You can do this from the Settings app or the Quick Settings panel on your Samsung phone. This is the way.
Step 1: Launch the Settings app on your Samsung phone and scroll down to tap on Advanced features.
Step 2: Tap Quick Share.
Step 3: Under Nearby Sharing, tap “Who Can Share With You” and choose Contacts Only or Anyone Nearby from the pop-up menu.
Selecting the ‘Contacts Only’ option will limit the visibility of Quick Share to Samsung account users in your contact list. Select Anyone nearby if that person is not in your contact list.
Alternatively, you can also enable Quick Sharing from the Quick Settings panel. Swipe down from the top of the screen twice to access the Quick Settings panel. Tap the Quick Share button and choose Contacts Only or Anyone Nearby from the pop-up menu.
When someone sends you an image, video, file, or link via Quick Share, a pop-up window appears. You can choose to accept or reject the file from the pop-up window. To do that, you’ll need to keep your phone unlocked.
Send files with quick sharing
Quick Share lets you share anything from almost anywhere. So you can share files or links from Gallery, file manager, browser, etc
If you’re looking to share something using Quick Share, here’s what you need to do.
Step 1: Open any image, video or document you want to share. Tap the share option at the bottom to bring up the share panel.
Step 2: Tap the Quick Share option.
Step 3: Your phone will start searching for any nearby Galaxy devices. Select the one with which you want to share the file. Note that recipients need to have Quick Share enabled on their phone and keep it unlocked in order for the phone to appear as an available device.
The recipient’s phone will receive the request. Once accepted, your phone will share the file immediately.
Similarly, you can also select and share multiple files at once using the Quick Share feature.
It’s great to see how Samsung Galaxy users benefit from using two different sharing services—Quick Share and Nearby Sharing—on their phones. Quick Share is definitely the better choice if you are looking to share files with your Samsung phone. For other cases, you can rely on Nearby Sharing to exchange files. Either way, you won’t need a third-party app to send or receive files, which is always good.
