Quick Share is a wireless peer-to-peer data transfer service for Android, ChromeOS and Windows. 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, distributing Quick Share to non-Galaxy Android devices through Google Play Services and releasing a Windows app for non-Galaxy PCs.
Quick Share utilizes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct to send files to nearby devices. Samsung devices can send to distant recipients through the Samsung Cloud.
