AirDrop has long been a handy convenience that comes with using Apple gadgets, but Samsung has finally come up with its own version. And it’s debuting on the Galaxy S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra. It’s called Quick Share, and Samsung says it lets you “share everything with your friends instantly.” Quick Share is detailed toward the bottom of this page that’s about the S20’s camera. Show
Similar to AirDrop, Quick Share can show “which of your contacts is nearby” so you can easily send files to them. But an interesting advantage over AirDrop is that Quick Share allows you to share with “up to 5 friends” simultaneously. AirDrop limits you to one recipient at a time. Screenshots of the Quick Share interface were published by XDA Developers last month, revealing that it has similar options to AirDrop: you can choose to let anyone with a compatible Samsung phone or tablet send you content, or just your contacts. The only compatible devices, however, are the Galaxy S20 phones — at least at launch. Samsung says Quick Share will make its way to the company’s other devices “soon.” Samsung has offered device-to-device sharing before for certain scenarios like beaming content onto your Samsung TV. That version is called Direct Share, but Quick Share is a bit more seamless. Google is also working on its own AirDrop-like software feature called Nearby Sharing that should eventually arrive on Pixel phones. I think we can all agree that AirDrop is an excellent idea, and after some false starts that focused too heavily on NFC, it’s good to see Android catching up in the year 2020. home_iconCreated with Sketch. Home > Mobile Transfer > [Solved] How to Airdrop from iPhone to Samsung AirDrop is a service developed by Apple that allows users of Apple devices to transfer files
seamlessly from one device to another. This is done completely wirelessly and is supported by a plethora of iOS devices. The types of files which you can transfer are photos, videos, contacts, documents, and other information, such as short notes. The benefit of using AirDrop is how easy it is to send these files. Another excellent feature of AirDrop is that it lets you either accept or decline the file you are receiving, preventing spam. Due to the popularity of AirDrop, many users have
common questions about if the technology can be used between different operating systems. Furthermore, you may want to send files to your friends who are using Samsung phones. This leads to the following questions: If you are accustomed to transferring files between devices through the use of AirDrop, you may be wondering if it is possible to do so using other devices, such as Samsung phones/tablets. Although your Samsung device may have the technology to use AirDrop, it is not
possible due to the proprietary nature of Apple features and devices. This is also not possible because of the same reasons mentioned for AirDrop between iPhones and Samsung phones. AirDrop can only be used between iOS devices, such as from iPhone to iPad when sending files such as JPEG. Bluetooth can also be used between iOS devices, or between Samsung phones however not across the two devices. Now you know the answers for two common data transfer questions about Airdrop and Bluetooth. We are showing you some alternative ways because these methods support the transfer of files between iPhone and Samsung like Airdrop and Bluetooth do within the same platform. Although some of these may take more time, they are all the best techniques to use if you wish to send some files cross-platform. iMyFone iTransor Pro allows for seamless file transfer between iPhone and Samsung devices, without restrictions. Regardless of the file type of the data you would like to transfer, the iTransor Pro allows for the transfer of 18 types of data quickly and in the matter of a couple of clicks on each device. Furthermore, it allows for cross-platform transfer for WhatsApp, so even if you are using other Android
devices, such as Huawei phones, you can use this tool. This is excellent for future-proofing your arsenal of utilities for your phones. One important feature of the iTransor Pro tool is its ability to migrate multiple types of data, such as documents, alarms, apps, SMS messages and contacts simultaneously. This means you do not have to constantly repeat the same process when moving files, which is exactly the problem that Airdrop has. 50,000,000 Downloads Outstanding Features:
Try It Free To use this method, you will need to have the iTransor Pro software downloaded and installed on your PC. Please also ensure you have data transfer cables for both devices, along with access to two USB ports on the PC you install the software on.
That's it. A majority of the process is done for you automatically, with you only having to do the basic steps. Method 2. Cloud backup service - Transfer files from iPhone to SamsungAlthough there are a few different approaches to this method, the general idea is the same. In this example, we will be using OneDrive, however, that is interchangeable with other services, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. This method works differently from Airdrop when transferring data. A cloud storage system is one where all your files are stored on a server which can be accessed from any device, anywhere as long as you have access to an internet connection. Although you cannot upload every type of file to OneDrive, it is possible to upload a majority of them, such as photos and documents. To use this method, you require an account for a cloud storage service. Once you have signed up, you will be given some free storage. This should be enough if you are only transferring a small number of files.
Method 3. Email files between devices [Common but Not Recommended]This is the most common method used to transfer files from one device to another, due to the availability of email services on all devices. It transfers data in a similar way to Airdrop while uses different technology (network connection for email transfer). However, this is the least recommended method because it is the most time-consuming method mentioned. To use this method, you will require an email account that can be accessed from your iPhone and Samsung. Then:
Note There is a limit to the number of files that can be sent via email at any one time, so if you have lots of files to send, it will take a lot of time. Only use this method if you are moving a few files at a time. As demonstrated in the guide above, you should be using the iTransor Pro tool by iMyFone if you have many files to move from your iPhone to your Samsung. When compared to the email and cloud backup services, it is quicker to use and easier to use. However, if you wish to gain access to your sent files (images, etc) from an alternative device, such as a PC, then we suggest you try out the cloud services method.
