Google Rolls Out Redesigned Quick Share with New Send & Receive Interface
Google Quick Share update is now rolling out with a fresh design and smarter functionality. The redesigned interface aims to make sharing files between devices faster, easier, and more intuitive for users.
What’s New in Quick Share
The most noticeable change in the Quick Share redesign is the clear separation between Send and Receive modes:
- Receive Mode by Default: When you openReceive Mode by Default**: When you open Quick Share, the app now starts in Receive mode. Your device name is highlighted more prominently, making it easier for others to identify and send files to you. Incoming requests are also more visible and accessible.
- Send Mode with File Picker: The Send tab integrates a built-in file picker that lets you select multiple files at once—even of different types. Before sending, you can preview the files, ensuring you share exactly what you want.
Cross-Device Sharing Expands
Google has already enabled Android file sharing with Windows PCs and Chromebooks, giving users a seamless experience across platforms. Reports suggest that the company is also working on support for iOS and macOS, which could make cross-device file transfer even more universal in the future.
Why This Matters
The new Quick Share features bring it closer to Apple’s AirDrop in terms of simplicity and usability. With the redesigned interface and upcoming compatibility improvements, Google is positioning Quick Share as the go-to solution for fast, wireless file transfers across different ecosystems.
Final Thoughts
The Quick Share redesign is rolling out gradually, so not all users will see the changes immediately. If you have an Android device, keep an eye out for the update—it’s a step forward in making file sharing smoother and more reliable.
