The Samsung Quick Share is now accessible on PCs. Yes, it is now available on Windows PCs made by manufacturers other than Samsung. As this feature is still new, you may be seeking a guide on how to utilize it. Here is a guide on how to use Quick Share on a Windows PC.
The sharing capabilities among Android devices have significantly improved over the years. However, it does not compare to the quality of Apple Sharing. This is because the majority of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) do not possess their own ecosystem.
Samsung has developed its own ecosystem, and within this ecosystem, Samsung Quick Share is a highly effective sharing tool that facilitates seamless sharing between multiple Samsung devices. For example, it is easy to share files between a Samsung laptop and a Samsung phone.
Samsung Quick Share is a sharing system similar to Nearby Share, but it is specifically designed for Samsung Galaxy devices. It is now also accessible on all Windows PCs. Yes, the functionality is only available if you have a Samsung device on at least one end. It not only allows you to share files between two devices but also enables you to create temporary links that can be shared with others.
