How to Use Quick Share on Android

Send files, photos, and links to nearby supported devices.

Quick Answer

Open Share on the item, choose Quick Share, select the nearby device, and have the recipient accept when required.

Step by Step

  1. Open the relevant Android app or Settings section.
  2. Open Share on the item, choose Quick Share, select the nearby device, and have the recipient accept when required.
  3. Review the result before deleting data, removing an account, or changing synchronization settings.
  4. For important data, confirm a current backup exists before making a major storage, account, or device change.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Android menu names vary significantly among Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus, and other manufacturers and Android versions.
  • Cloud synchronization is not always the same as an independent backup; review deletion and sync warnings before removing photos, files, contacts, or account data.
