- Samsung’s Quick Share feature allows users to share files over the cloud with temporary Samsung Cloud download links.
- Google’s Quick Share could soon be able to intercept these download links and open them within the app.
- This will allow for a consistent user experience between Samsung Galaxy and other Android devices.
Last year, Google and Samsung joined forces to harmonize their file-sharing solutions for the greater good of the Android platform. As a result, Android’s Nearby Share was renamed to Quick Share, the same as Samsung’s solution on Galaxy devices. More recently, we’ve spotted Google and Samsung redesigning Quick Share to look similar to each other’s solution. We’re in for further harmonization, as Google’s Quick Share will soon be able to intercept download links from Samsung’s Quick Share.
