TL;DR
- Quick Share is now available on Windows Phones via the LiveDrop application.
- This is an unofficial Quick Share client that needs to be sideloaded on Windows 10 Mobile.
- The app can send files to Android and Windows just fine, but a bug means you can’t receive files just yet.
Microsoft abandoned Windows Phone back in 2017, officially creating the Android-iOS duopoly we have today. That hasn’t stopped people from releasing apps on the platform, though. Now, one enterprising developer has brought Quick Share to Windows Phones.
Developer RetiredLake has released LiveDrop for Windows 10 Mobile. This app unofficially brings Google’s Quick Share functionality to Windows Phones, allowing users to share files locally without using the cloud.
