I used to use Nearby Share when sharing files, photos, videos with another Samsung phone. But now I only use Quick Share.
It's fast when you share large files on the same wifi network and you can send files up to 1Gb in size.
You can even share to a Windows PC/Laptop, they just need to get the Samsung QuickShare for PC app from the Galaxy Store.
Unlike Whatsapp, Quick Share doesn't compress shared files so the photo you take in high resolution will be what the recipient gets.
How to do it
- Make sure the Quick Share feature is activated by going to Settings > Connected devices > Quick Share > Who can share with you. Ensure that Anyone nearby is selected.
- Find the file or photo that you want to share on your Samsung device and tap the Share icon.
- Select Quick Share.
- For a direct share with a nearby Samsung device, ensure the recipient is in close proximity, and their device should appear in the menu. Tap on it.
- Ask them to accept the file. It will then start transferring.
