Moving files back and forth
You can use Quick Share to send files from your phone to your computer for easier editing or organization, and you can also push files from your PC to your mobile device for use on the go. Sending from a computer is as simple as dragging and dropping a file into the app or right-clicking a file and choosing Send with Quick Share.
System compatibility and connection tips
Quick Share runs on 64-bit desktop and laptop operating systems; ARM-based PCs are not supported. Ensure both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are active on your computer. Most modern Android phones (Android 6 and later) already include Quick Share, so you typically won’t need to install anything on the mobile side. Devices need to be within about five meters to complete a transfer reliably.
