Anyone facing any issues after combining the quick share and the nearby share on Samsung devices? Before this update, I used nearby share on my Galaxy S23 to my non Samsung phones of my friends. But after combining these two, this particular feature doesn't seem to work no matter what. I can not get it to send to nearby share devices. It does show up in the settings but when attempted to send a file, it fails.

macOS can remotely control this without notice on your screen. You cannot turn this off. Even when it's disabled. I don't know why you would not use Microsoft Azure One Drive it's the safest thing to use and you can setup authenticator to login with biometric only no password. Thank you come again

So I have a Z Flip5, a Fold4, and a Tab S9 Ultra. The Fold4 and Tab S9 Ultra have no problem finding the other two devices when I use quick share. My Flip 5 on the other hand can't seem to find either of the other two, or anything else for that matter. The only way I can use quick share with the other two is to us the QC code. I've looked on the internet and tried all the solutions I could find but none of them have solved the issue. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to solve it?

(First of all this is not a problem that I'm having with sending media in messenger apps, it's related to sending files via link sharing/quick share).

so I'm having this problem that my friends can send me files via link sharing and the link would be in a quick share app's notification on my phone even if my screen is off and it doesn't ask for my permission at all (even tho the "who can share with you" option is set to no one). Like everyone who has my number can send me files this way but I can't do the same to them and it instead suggests me to either send the link as a text in a message or just cancel the whole thing. (Im not sure but i guess i can send files to some contacts using the link sharing thing but they're a few) Please help me it's driving me crazy T-T

Just a hunch, because I don't use Quick Share at all, but might having it set to share with no one be a two way ramp? Meaning, even though it's phrased as "who can share with you", maybe it also means "who you can share with".  My only suggestion would be to switch it to contacts only and see if that changes anything.

I've been having this problem as of late. My phone S22U will not send or receive files from quick share when shared to devices nearby is selected. The contacts on both phones show up but when selected or accepted the status states that it is sending but eventually fails. I then can copy the url and send the link as a text file to which the files can be downloaded. I don't understand what made this Cincinnati stop working. Today the recipients phone was a note 20 Ultra if that matters. Looking for a solution to one of my favorite features.
