Samsung is preparing to bring its AirDrop alternative to Windows 10 PCs

Samsung Quick Share could get a lot more useful.

What you need to know

  • Samsung is reportedly working to bring Quick Share to Windows 10 computers.
  • The app supports Galaxy devices with One UI 2 or higher, but PC requirements are unknown.
  • Samsung Free and Samsung O are also reportedly making their way to Windows 10.

Samsung and Microsoft have a great relationship. Both companies working together to bring the best features from the Your Phone app to the best Samsung phones, and the new One UI 3.1 update further integrates Samsung's devices with Windows 10 PCs. Apparently, Samsung is working on even more ways to integrate its services with Windows, according to a new report.

According to Aggiornamenti Lumia, Samsung is preparing to introduce its Quick Share feature on Windows 10 PCs via the Microsoft Store. This will bring similar functionality to how it works currently, transferring content between smartphones and Galaxy devices using Bluetooth or WiFi Direct. It seems some users may already have access to the application, and it could very well roll out soon. Apparently, all that's needed is a Galaxy smartphone with One UI 2 or higher, although it's unclear what prerequisites are in place for Windows 10 devices.

Two other apps appear to be making their way to Windows 10, including Samsung Free and Samsung O. The former app is Samsung's new replacement to Samsung Daily, introduced alongside One UI 3.0. As for Samsung O, it's unclear what this could be, but the icon is the exact same as Samsung Free, so there could be some relation.

It's unclear when these apps are expected to his the Microsoft Store, but it could be sooner rather than later. Bringing Samsung's Quick Share to Windows 10 would be a great alternative to Google's Nearby Share which only kind of supports PCs.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
