News & Reviews:   file sharing

Today, Google announced that sending files between Android devices and iPhones can now be done using the QuickShare and AirDrop protocols. So, what should you know about it?

When you share files on a PC, you have to drag the file from its folder to the program you want to share it to. It's pretty simple, but it would be great if it was simpler. That's what Microsoft aims to do with an upcoming Windows 11 feature.

Samsung has made file sharing easier by launching a new Good Lock module called Dropship. If you have no idea what Good Lock is, it's actually a Galaxy Store app that allows users to access various customization options such as theming, UI tweaking, and more. Back to Dropship, the new module will enable more seamless file sharing across Android, iOS, and the web by using a data-driven approach.

For the past few months, WhatsApp has been adding a few features such as emoji reactions, increase voice call group members and others. However, one of the last features that the company is planning to update is increasing the file size and it may be coming soon.

Back in early 2022, we already knew that WhatsApp could be working on a new Communities function for the mobile app. Well, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp have just confirmed the vision for it and here's what you can expect.

Way back in March, Google confirmed that it's hard at work on the Nearby Sharing feature. As you may know, this is Google's answer to Apple's AirDrop feature. The company has now confirmed that the feature is now in beta and users who are interested can try it out.

Now that Android 11 beta has launched, Android users finally got access to a feature that's similar to Apple's AirDrop - the Nearby Sharing feature. But Google isn't content with just making it usable on mobile. A source has found that Google plans to make the feature available on even more platforms.

In an unexpected twist, Xiaomi has just announced that they have joined forces with OPPO and Vivo to create a cross-platform file sharing technology between their smartphones. With this established alliance, the initiative is to offer a better file transmission experience for the users.
