• Google could bring back the “use mobile data” toggle to Quick Share. This toggle was present on Nearby Share but was removed when the service was renamed to Quick Share.
• Speculatively, Quick Share could also use mobile data more liberally when transferring files, as fine text related to small files is absent.

Android landed its AirDrop competitor in the form of Nearby Share, which was renamed as Quick Share when the feature merged with Samsung’s version of Quick Share for Galaxy phones. This universal version of Quick Share essentially lets you AirDrop from Android devices to Android, Chromebooks, Windows PCs, and back. However, as good as Quick Share is, it lacked a key toggle, which many users appreciated in Nearby Share: a toggle for using mobile data. If you’re missing the ability to control whether Quick Share can use your data connection or not, there’s some good news, as Google could be bringing that toggle back.
