The file-sharing experience on Android devices may be greatly improved by a major update coming soon to Google’s Quick Share, the Android version of Apple’s AirDrop. Recent discoveries made during an APK breakdown indicate that Google is developing the ability to drag and drop files into Quick Share, a feature that is currently present in the Windows version of the program.
For those who do not know, Quick Share is a useful application that makes file transfers across devices simple and doesn’t require a physical connection. Because it is compatible with a wide range of devices—including Windows PCs, Android smartphones, tablets, and Chromebooks—it is an invaluable tool for people who are not part of the Apple ecosystem.
Right now, Android’s Quick Share experience is different from Windows’. To begin a file transfer on Windows, users only need to launch the Quick Share application, drag the desired file, and drop it onto the recipient device’s icon. It’s a simple and effective procedure.
On Android, though, the procedure is not as efficient. Locating the file, selecting the recipient device, finding the Quick Share icon, and tapping the share button within the related app are the steps that users must take. It is certainly less handy than the drag-and-drop method, even though it is still workable.
With the future drag-and-drop capability, Android users will be able to enjoy the same level of simplicity as Windows users. Even while the functionality isn’t yet finished, Google is clearly working on it based on the APK breakdown and early testing on an Android tablet.
Drag-and-drop support would be a nice addition for Android users, particularly for those with tablets and foldable phones that have enormous screens. It would facilitate file sharing and make the user experience more seamless. Additionally, it might come in handy for the much-awaited native desktop mode that Android users in general and Pixel owners in particular have been looking forward to.
