Google updates Quick Share for Windows, fixing several issues

October 27, 2024

Google is enhancing its Quick Share application for Windows, with the latest update, version 1.0.2002.2, now being rolled out. This update is primarily focused on refining the app’s performance and addressing various bugs rather than introducing new features.

Key Improvements and Fixes

The Quick Share app, a product of the integration between Android’s Nearby Share and Samsung’s Quick Share, facilitates seamless file transfers across Android devices, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs. The recent update aims to bolster the application’s stability, which is crucial for users relying on it for efficient file sharing.

Among the notable enhancements are:

  • Resolution of crashes linked to file names containing non-ASCII characters, ensuring files open correctly.
  • Improvements in saving user preferences, which had previously been problematic on certain system configurations.
  • Assurance that the Quick Share icon consistently appears in the Start menu post-installation.
  • Stability fixes for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections during file transfers, enhancing overall user experience.

Here’s a detailed changelog of the update:

  • Fixed deletion of files received from unknown senders with identical payload IDs.
  • Addressed app crashes caused by non-ASCII characters in file names.
  • Resolved issues preventing successful opening of received files with non-ASCII characters.
  • Corrected problems related to reading and saving user preferences.
  • Ensured the Quick Share shortcut icon appears in the Start menu after installation.
  • Fixed crashes occurring when reading input files.
  • Addressed multiple GATT reads during device discovery.
  • Eliminated a bug that hindered Wi-Fi LAN advertising.
  • Resolved crashes when connecting to Bluetooth.
  • Fixed issues with the Wi-Fi hotspot profile deletion and recovery during file transfers.

While this update may not introduce groundbreaking features, the focus on stability is a welcome development for users. It brings Quick Share a step closer to achieving the seamless file-sharing experience akin to AirDrop on Android devices.
