Manage Other Quick Share Options
There is also an option for you to convert high video resolutions to a compatible format with standard resolution. This helps reduce the actual file size of the videos and thereby speed up the file sharing process.
If you prefer to use Wi-Fi only when sharing files via quick share, turn on the option to Use Wi-Fi only.
Auto deletion of expired files is also possible. This will help optimize storage by removing unused files including the ones you send and receive via quick share. Just tap Auto delete expired files in the quick share settings then choose between Received files only and Received and sent files.
Alternative Way to Manage Quick Share settings
Aside from Advanced features, you can also access and manage the Quick Share settings straight from the Apps menu of your Galaxy Z Flip phone.
- To do this, navigate to Settings-> Apps then select Quick Share from the list of apps. In the Quick Settings App info screen, tap Quick Share settings. Doing so will take you to the same quick share settings menu where you can find relevant options that you can adjust accordingly.
Any changes you made to the quick share app through the App info will also reflect on the app’s settings in the Advanced features menu.
Start Sharing Files via Quick Share
Now that you’ve already enabled Quick Share on your phone, you’re all set to use it to share files using it.
- To do this, launch the Gallery app then choose the image or video file that you’d like to share. When the file is selected, tap the Share icon then select the recipient device. Wait for your devices to connect. Once connected, accept the file transfer request on the other device.
- To make sure that your Galaxy Z Flip4 is visible to nearby devices via Quick Share, turning on Phone Visibility through Settings-> Connections menu might help.
