If you're not familiar with Quick Share, it's basically Google's version of Apple's AirDrop. It started as Nearby Share it 2020, allowing you to send files, photos and more via Bluetooth or WiFi. Then in January 2024, after partnering with Samsung, it became the Quick Share we know today.
Before the app was converted, the file sharing ecosystem in Android it was fragmented, with Google running Nearby Share and Samsung running Quick Share for Galaxy devices. The conversion helped simplify things and avoid confusing users.
When it first launched, Nearby Share was limited to Android devices, leaving out all other platforms except operation. Over time, however, Google expanded its service to include other platforms, such as Chromebooks or 64-bit Windows devices.
macOS is not currently supported, although rumors suggest that Google is preparing to bring Quick Share to the platform. As for Linux users, there is currently no native support. You will need to use third-party alternatives such as Localsend, to transfer files between your Linux computer and other devices on your network.
