Free file-sharing application for wireless devices

Quick Share is a device-to-device file-sharing application that allows users to send content quickly between similar operating systems. It is completely free to download, and little existing memory will be required.

Created by the same developers at Microsoft responsible for other popular apps, including the well-received Microsoft Edge browser, this program is regularly updated and easy to use. It is meant to be used in conjunction with Samsung Galaxy devices, as well as specific Windows PCs that meet its hardware requirements.

One-click sharing capabilities

Quick Share takes the guesswork out of sending files to multiple recipients. Users will simply click on the intended individuals and then select from a drop-down list of available files. Thereafter, the information is sent with the click of a button.

Customizable settings

It is possible to adjust the settings of Quick Share in order to accommodate personal tastes. A dark mode is available, and users may also select an option to sync the background with their existing desktop layout.

Streamlined updates

Similar to other file-sharing bundles, Quick Share will need to be updated on occasion in order to perform at optimal levels. The good news is that many of these updates are already included with normal Windows patches. Therefore, no additional end-user steps are required.

Important pre-requisites

Now, before getting started with the Quick Share utility program, there are a few important requirements and conditions you need to be aware of first. For the laptop, you can use a Qualcomm-equipped Samsung Galaxy Book or later. However, the application is also compatible with third-party Windows PCs coming from other manufacturers.

They will need to run Windows 10 and up for the operating system, an Intel Bluetooth device with driver version 22.50.02 and above, as well as a similarly-branded Intel Wi-Fi card with driver 22.50.7 and beyond. Meeting these specific hardware requirements ensures that you will be able to use this utility tool without issues.

Lastly, you need to have a Samsung account with your Samsung devices already linked to it, so you can have a seamless experience. On another note, despite advertising support for third-party Windows machines, the experience of using Quick Share outside its native ecosystem is cumbersome, with constant errors and compatibility issues across the board. It also tends to solicit users to opt into its other services, which is not a good look.

For professional or personal use

In the event that bulk file-sharing services are not required, Quick Share can be used as a replacement for other file-sharing programs, such as BitTorrent. As this bundle has been created by the team at Microsoft, there are a few issues in terms of security, reliability, or transparency.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
