Here’s why you should use QR codes to share files
The option to share files using QR codes is a game-changer for Quick Share. Here’s why we prefer it. Seamless process: While using a QR code to share files, you don’t need to manually add the destination device. This means the receiver does not have to change their phone’s visibility settings, as the onus lies on them to scan the QR code. Share with multiple devices: Once the QR code has been created, multiple devices can scan it to receive the files. This saves the user a lot of time. Instead of manually scanning for devices, the recipients can quickly scan the code to access the files. Security: When you create a QR code for a file, you are aware of the devices that scan it. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally sending the file to an unknown device.Send or receive a file using a QR code on Quick Share
