Strengthen the sharing process
The move aims to effective the file-sharing experience for users within the Samsung ecosystem. For some time now, two “quick share” are about to swim around the experience: Google’s pass shares (which were rebuilt for quick shares early last year) and Samsung’s own quick share feature, which is widely adopted by Google’s name. This created some confusion, especially when Samsung phones, non-Samsung Android devices and Windows PCS.Google and Samsung announced a plan to merge these experiences. Back in early 2024The target for an integrated file-sharing solution similar to Apple’s popular aircraft feature that works originally between iPhones, iPads and MACS. Other options such as Microsoft’s phone links also provide ways to bridge the phone and PC, but the quick shares are particularly focused on the direct file transfer. This upcoming change on the Samsung laptop is the next logical step in that consolidation attempt, to ensure that Samsung users have a consistent experience that has been managed by Samsung directly in its Galaxy phone and Galaxy book computers.

It moves to a less fragmented experience when you only want to send a photo or document to your laptop from your phone, simplifying a normal task.
