Quick Share is the easiest way to send large videos, RAW photos, and full-resolution files between Samsung Galaxy devices — without losing quality and without using third-party apps. If you're in the U.S. or Canada and want the fastest, most stable setup, here’s the exact workflow that actually works in real life.

1. Turn On Quick Share on Both Samsung Devices

  1. Open Settings on each device.
  2. Tap Connected Devices.
  3. Choose Quick Share.
  4. Enable the toggle.

You’ll see three visibility options: No One, Contacts, and Everyone. For fast large-file transfers, choose Everyone temporarily — it gives instant device detection.

2. Allow “Everyone for 10 Minutes” for Faster Pairing

On newer One UI versions, Samsung added the Everyone for 10 minutes option. This improves stability when sending big 4K/8K files, especially in busy Wi-Fi environments like offices, colleges, or apartments in the U.S. and Canada.

How to enable

  1. Go to Quick Share.
  2. Select Who can share with you.
  3. Choose Everyone for 10 minutes.

3. Transfer Large Files Using the Gallery or My Files App

Method A: From Gallery

  1. Open Gallery.
  2. Select the large photos/videos.
  3. Tap Share.
  4. Choose Quick Share.
  5. Select the nearby Samsung device.

Method B: From My Files (best for folders & huge videos)

  1. Open My Files.
  2. Long-press files or whole folders.
  3. Tap Share → Quick Share.

Tip: My Files handles very large transfers (5–20GB) with fewer interruptions.

4. Improve Transfer Speed (Real-World Tips)

  • Stay within 1–2 meters — Quick Share uses Wi-Fi Direct for top speed.
  • Disable hotspot or Ethernet adapter if connected — both affect Wi-Fi Direct bandwidth.
  • Avoid crowded areas with many routers (Airbnb, campus networks) for smoother transfers.

On Galaxy S22/S23/S24/S25 devices, large files usually transfer at 350–600 Mbps in North America when Wi-Fi Direct bandwidth is clean.

5. Allow Incoming Files Automatically

If the receiving device doesn’t accept automatically:

  1. Go to Settings → Connected Devices → Quick Share.
  2. Enable Allow files from others.

This avoids the “Waiting for acceptance” delay that interrupts large transfers.

6. Quick Share Not Working? Try These Fixes

Fix A: Toggle Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

Quick Share relies on both. Turn each off → wait 3 seconds → turn back on.

Fix B: Restart Quick Settings Services

  1. Swipe down twice to open full Quick Panel.
  2. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off.

Fix C: Reset Nearby Device Scanning

  1. Go to Settings → Privacy → Nearby Device Scanning.
  2. Disable → re-enable it.

Fix D: Clear Quick Share App Cache

  1. Go to Settings → Apps.
  2. Search Quick Share.
  3. Tap Storage → Clear Cache.

Once Quick Share is properly enabled and visibility is set to “Everyone for 10 minutes,” Samsung devices in the U.S. and Canada can transfer huge files far faster than AirDrop-style alternatives on mixed platforms. This setup guarantees smooth 4K/8K video transfers every time.
