Brient Neilson, 23 Jun 2021Google is not available in China. Samsung has no choice but... moreThey had the same choice as MTA did to accept them. Had no choice...pffft.
The google OS is not allowed in China, as is the app store, but not individual apps.

Google isn't available in China... And in my experience Nearby Share is so slow, slower than the Mi Share standard. So this makes sense. And how things work in here is very simple.

iPusak Gaoq, 19 Jun 2021Simple...transfer standards means all apps are cross compat... moreNo that I understood that these 3 chinese companies and now Samsung can send files to each other's phones...
But what about LG's File Sharing? and various other specific manufacturer's file sharing systems, how compatible they are to each other...?
That's what I wanted the knowledge article to focus on.

I just tried the Quick Share between my note9 and my win10 tabletPC, it woks like ftp but it's slow, i can operate from phone on PC but not from PC on phone and all the activities work over internet OneDrive, and this is prove how hunger this companies are for our data to grab ultimately a copy from our privacy, so wi-fi direct and USB is only best solution for large file transfer.

Ayaz PhoneGlide, 19 Jun 2021This is a great news for a standardized sharing experience ... moreThey communicate directly to each other through their wifi communications, no need to be connected to a wifi hotspot.

Before, i used Wifi Direct to transfert files between my Samsung phones, it was fast and easy. Now they dropped it but they still have Quickshare which is different and less easy to use. And now Google is promoting NearbyShare which is a real mess, using both Bluetooth and Wifi Direct. So now they already want to use a new system MTA...what a mess, Wifi Direct was so easy...

This is a great news for a standardized sharing experience across different brands of devices. I don’t think this is like AirDrop where it works locally. This one needs a wireless network?

Why? Google already pushed out Nearby share, even down to Android 6. That works with all Android handsets, no need for stupid alliances. Why do we need another one? This is wasting time. These OEMs should put the efforts into updating their handsets instead.

I use SMB and solid file manager to transfer files over Wi-Fi from pc to phone or vice versa.
And then there's nearby Share .
Why can't they just use what's baked into android than using some app that also is loaded with shitton load of ads!?

@ GSMArena staff : Seeing as to how confused everyone is regarding file sharing standards (it includes me too), how about we have a knowledge article on the same, like you have on high res audio and all ?

Even my LG G8x has some file sharing system in toggles in the notification shade.
I wonder what standard it uses, because I never used it.

Anonymous, 18 Jun 2021I mean why bother, now that Nearby Share is a thing?Yeah I think so I mean nearby share is automatically avaliable on virtually any Android devices even the old one (I have a Fujitsu devices with android 7) and it works flawlessly. I have multiple brands smartphones with various version of Android and it's all compatible, why bother using a another standards
