Google's Quick Share program , which is the equivalent of Apple's AirDrop but for Android, is expected to receive a major drag-and-drop upgrade that could significantly improve the file sharing experience on Android devices.
Recent findings from APK suggest that Google is working on adding drag-and-drop functionality to Quick Share,a feature that is already available in the Windows version of the app.
Quick Share is a useful tool that makes it easy to transfer files between devices without the need for a physical connection. It supports various platforms, including Android smartphones and tablets, Chromebooks, and Windows. So you can send and receive photos, documents, and other files between nearby Android devices and Windows computers with ease.

Quick Share uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to create a connection between devices and transfer data quickly and securely.
Currently, the Quick Share experience differs between Android devices and Windows computers. On Windows, users can simply open the Quick Share app, drag the desired file and drop it onto the target device iconto start the transfer. It's a simple and efficient process.
However, on Android devices, users must first locate the file, tap the share button in the corresponding app, find the Quick Share icon, and then select the target device. It's not a difficult process, but it's undoubtedly less convenient compared to the drag-and-drop method.
