Quick Share offers a simple way to transfer files between an Android phone and Windows PC and it’s been improved.

Android Authority has reported, following some testing, that your Windows PC and Android phone no longer need to be on the same Wi-Fi network to transfer files quickly.

Sometimes you need to transfer files between yourphoneand yourlaptop. It could be a photo you’ve taken on your phone, or perhaps a document you have written on your laptop that you need to attach to an email when you’re on the go later.

If you’re transferring files between anAndroidphone and aWindows PChowever, there’s a tool calledQuick Share. It’s simple to set up and use, and it will transfer files nice and quickly, for the most part. In the past, those speeds have been a little slower if your Windows PC wasn’t on the same Wi-Fi network as your Android phone, transferring over Bluetooth instead.

Google’s support page and the Quick Share for Windows app still claims the same Wi-Fi network is required for speedy transfer but Android Authority reports that Quick Share for Windows can send and receive files at decent speeds as long as your Windows PC has Wi-Fi on. Your PC doesn’t need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network but it should be on.

Android Authority isn’t sure what software build of Quick Share the change was implemented on but if transferring files between our devices on the move is now easier, we are all for it.
