Google upgraded Quick Share with the ability to use QR codes to share links and files.

QR codes are an alternative to Quick Share's normal modus operandi, which involves the originating device detecting nearby Android devices, Chromebooks, and (in some cases) Windows PC.

The recipient device can only be a phone or tablet running Android 6.x or later, unlike some other iterations of Quick Share .
