Google enhances Quick Share for seamless file transfers across devices

zdnet.com February 4, 2025, 09:00 PM UTC

Google has upgraded its Quick Share feature, allowing file transfers to continue even if devices lose their direct connection. This change means users can send files without needing to stay close together. Previously, Quick Share required a constant Wi-Fi Direct or Bluetooth connection. Now, transfers can proceed over Wi-Fi or mobile data, making it more convenient for larger files. Quick Share supports transfers between Android devices, Chrome OS, Windows, and potentially iOS in the future. Users will need to update Google Play Services to version 25.04 to access the new feature.
