Direct Integration for File Sharing
Google revealed a Quick Share SDK at the Android Dev Summit 2026, which will allow developers to embed peer-to-peer file sharing capabilities directly into their Android and iOS applications. This integration means users can share files from within an app, bypassing the need to open the system Share sheet and the full Quick Share interface.
Availability and Features
The Quick Share SDK is scheduled for release in the first half of 2027. It will support end-to-end encrypted data transfers between devices, ensuring privacy. The SDK also handles hotspot creation and utilizes Wi-Fi Direct for low-latency, high-speed transfers, even without an internet connection.
Other features include the ability to share photos and videos without compression and operate offline, which is beneficial for constrained data environments. Google will also provide a Quick Share iOS SDK for iPhone applications.
User Experience
When Quick Share is activated within a third-party application, a bottom sheet will appear, displaying previews of the files being sent. This design aims to provide a consistent and integrated user experience for file sharing.
