“Unifying Google and Samsung: The Convergence of Nearby Share and Quick Share into One Comprehensive Cross-Platform Solution for Android”
Google announced today at CES that it has collaborated with Samsung to combine their sharing solutions into a singular cross-Android solution under the Quick Share name.
The new offering grows the network of devices that users can share content with across the Android ecosystem, including Chromebooks.
Back in 2020, Google introduced Nearby Share to make it easy for users to share files across devices.
Samsung also has its own similar capability called Quick Share.
Google also announced that it is working with PC manufacturers like LG to expand Quick Share to Windows PCs as a pre-installed app.
