What exactly do you mean by "not working"?... 😩 |
|
I am being stupid.. My mac was on a different network than my phone. Sorry! |
|
I mean that when i select a file and than click on quick share icon it is
not showing my macbook like it does previously with nearby share.

I have the same issue. I use M2 MBP and Pixel 8. Neardrop is running, but
my phone cannot see it as a device. So I am unable to send files to it

So do you seriously believe that the share extension should somehow magically rename itself to "Quick Share"? By the way, it's called "NearDrop" right now. |
|
Earlier it was Nearby share and quick share. Nearby share is for all
androids and quick share was exclusive to only Samsung phones. But google
has merged it's nearby share with samsung's quick share with an update. But
"Near Drop" was for Mac's. But now after all this process that has happened
in Android quick share won't read my Mac. That is what i am talking about.
Earlier while transferring from nearby share it was working flawlessly and
also earlier it doesn't work with Quick share but after google integrated
both of them now its not working for me when i am sharing my files through
quick share.

It was an easy fix for me: Just share with Quick Share, then to the top right there are the three dots >> Settings >> Change Visibility to "Everyone" I feared that it was broken after the Merge, but apparently everything still works perfectly :D |
|
Yeah I checked it and now its working one way, like from my phone to my Mac but not other way round. Don’t know whether It will work or not.

It also doesn't work for me, my phone recognizes my Mac, but the app does nothing. |
|
It's been working for me. I don't think it has anything to do with the rebrand. Include more details, such as the file you are sending, file type, OS version, device type.... |
|
Working one way only, Android to Mac working fine. mac to Android is not working at all Settings on phone 
Earlier it was working fine both ways in my Samsung and other Android device but after the Android became quick share it broke and working one way only |
|
Same here as @FSint653. I saw with the latest release, there's a Share extension to send things like a URL (from the browser) to the phone. This is probably why people are noticing it doesn't work from Computer -> Phone. I get the same results on my Samsung device (which uses Quick Share in place of Nearby Share now).
|
|
There's no point repeating "it also doesn't work for me". Yes, I know. Yes, I still have no idea what to do about it. Help is appreciated, but tens of "it's not working" comments aren't helpful to me. They just clog my inbox. |
|
And, I've never seen the UI like on @FSint653's screenshot. It's clearly Samsung's UI, not Google's. The newest Samsung device I own is the Galaxy S9, and it hasn't received any updates for more than a year. |
Users are just discovering this issue and reacting to it is all. It seemed like there was some confusion, so I was clarifying. Looks like we're all on the same page now. 🙂 For context: Quick Share uses the same Nearby Share technology, but beyond that, it's over my head. I'm not an engineer, just chiming in here. Here's a brief article to give you more context: https://www.sammobile.com/news/google-nearby-share-merged-samsung-quick-share/ |

Hmm. So I reenabled Galaxy Store, seems like I can now do this: |
|
Okay, so after I installed that update and rebooted the phone, I did get the same UI which is clearly an amalgamation of two technologies, Nearby Share and something Samsung made themselves. The part where you can log into two accounts (Samsung account to "share with Galaxy devices" and Google account to "share with non-Galaxy devices") gives that away. |
|
Sometimes activity |
Since Nearby share merged with Quick Share the app Near Drop is not working anymore. I mean it was a great app for people like us who used android and Mac both. So I request the developer to work on this and bring this fantastic app to work again like before it will be very much appreciated.
