"Samsung and Google Launch Quick Share: The Ultimate AirDrop Alternative for Android Devices"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by SamMobile - Samsung news

Samsung has released the updated Quick Share feature for all Galaxy smartphones and tablets, merging Google's Nearby Share with Samsung's Quick Share. The new version allows for wireless file-sharing with nearby compatible devices directly in the sharing menu, with an increased file-sharing limit of up to 5GB. Non-Samsung Android smartphones will also receive the Quick Share feature, replacing Nearby Share. Additionally, Samsung plans to merge Quick Share and Nearby Share apps for Windows by the third quarter of 2024.

Unofficial app enables Nearby Share between Android and macOS.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by 9to5Google

An unofficial app called "NearDrop" has been developed by grishka that allows macOS devices to receive files from Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks using Nearby Share. However, it only works in one direction and requires both devices to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The app also requires the Mac to be set to "Visible to everyone" at all times, and changing visibility settings is not possible. Users must enable notifications for NearDrop in the "System Settings" section of their Mac to confirm transfers. There are inherent risks in installing software from an unidentified developer, so users should be cautious.
