Google’s Quick Share levels up with this AirDrop feature

During past years Google enhanced its Quick Share tool which was previously named Nearby Share. Android users now turn to Quick Share as their preferred tool to send files without interruptions. Google presents a new upgrade that lets users restart file transfers from their cellular or Wi-Fi networks when initial wireless sharing ends.

This guide covers all key points about Quick Share’s new update and how it impacts its users.

What is New in Quick Share?

Google Play Services v25.04 allows Quick Share to move files directly to mobile data for WiFi transfer when both devices lose their connection. Users will benefit a lot from this update because it fixes their problems when transferring big files.

Key Features:

• Quick Share connection fails it will change to send data over a cellular or Wi-Fi connection automatically.
• The recent enhancement brings Quick Share closer to what AirDrop and the Samsung version of Quick Share can do today.
• The feature now sends files to their target location without interruptions as internet connections.

How Does It Work?

The system failed transfer operations when two devices lost their network connection in prior versions. Following mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection allows Quick Share to continue sending files during disturbances. Keep these aspects in mind while using the service.

• When using mobile data or Wi-Fi for transfers the process slows down, particularly for large files.
• Use mobile data with caution for file transfers because they use up your monthly data allocation rapidly.
• Wi-Fi slows transfers down it can reduce transfer time compared to direct connections when Wi-Fi speed is poor.

How Does It Compare to AirDrop and Samsung Quick Share?

When iOS 17 came out Apple made it possible for AirDrop to continue a transfer from one device to another when devices leave range and connect to the internet. Quick Share from Samsung works the same way but can only handle transfers between devices from the company. The latest Google update helps Quick Share become a versatile direct transfer for all Android phones.
