Learn to use Quick Share on your Samsung phone for faster file transfers

Forget about Bluetooth or NFC, Samsung phones have a faster and easier way to share images and videos in a jiffy. As long as your Galaxy phone runs Android 10/One UI 2.0 or above, you can share files using Quick Share. The feature uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology to find the nearest Galaxy device and then initiates a transfer, like AirDrop on iPhones. Here's how to use Samsung's Quick Share feature to send files from one Galaxy phone to another.

How to use Samsung's Quick Share feature

  1. Open the Gallery app on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
  2. Press and hold the file(s) to select it.
  3. Tap the Share option in the bottom left corner of your screen.
  4. Select Remove location data if you want to strip the location info of the file(s).

  5. Tap Quick Share.

  6. Tap the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of your screen.
  7. Tap Settings.
  8. Make sure Quick Share is toggled On.

  9. Select who can share files with you. Choose Everyone if the reciever is not added to your Samsung Social account.

  10. Go back and select the device you want to share your file(s) with.

Once you've set up your Quick Share settings, it'll be easier the next time. You won't have to go into the feature's settings after the first time around. Regular Galaxy devices that you interact with will automatically be saved and appear under the share options. Sharing a single file or a bunch of them in one go will be a matter of a few seconds.

Our top equipment picks

Quick Share is available on Samsung Galaxy devices exclusively. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's restricted to phones. It's there on some Galaxy tablets as well. We used the Galaxy Note 10+ for this guide, but you can just as easily use Quick Share on the Tab S7 or the Z Flip 3. Just make sure your Galaxy phone or tablet is running One UI 2.0 or above.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ may be old, but it still packs one helluva punch. Whet your appetite for a drop-dead gorgeous flagship with banging internal hardware with this phone. Your eyes will never tire of that captivating Dynamic AMOLED display or the fun and functional S Pen.

The hardware combo is upper-tier and delivers unwaveringly good performance even by today's standards.

Additional Equipment

Quick Share is handy for impromptu image and video transfers to a certain extent. However, if you're planning on exchanging substantial amounts of data, consider grabbing a USB Type-C flash drive for your phone. It's also a great idea to use a microSD card to copy them to your computer, assuming your phone supports expandable storage.

The evolution of the PlayStation controller: From DualShock to DualSense

Image
Let's take a trip down memory lane and see how Sony's designed its PlayStation controllers. I've talked before about how the PS5 is a drastic design departure from previous PlayStation consoles, but I've never focused on the DualSense controller , itself a major shakeup to the DualShock line. PlayStation's controllers have all had similar form factors, so much so that the DualShock 2 and 3 are nearly identical. The DualSense is very clearly the odd one out in the family. Let's take a trip down memory lane and see how we got to this point. Holiday 2020 PlayStation 5 See at Amazon See at Best Buy See at Walmart Get your hands on it before it sells out The PS5 isn't available for preorder just yet, but a few retailers are letting fans sign up for notifications so they don't miss out. The DualSense should hopefully make all of its upcoming games more immersive than ever before. Jump to: Original and DualShock DualShock 2 DualShock 3 Dual...
