New name for Quick Share on Windows

Google’s handy file-sharing tool, Quick Share, is getting a small update for Windows users. According to a recent report, the app might soon change its name to “Google Quick Share” on Windows devices. This tweak makes it clearer that the tool comes from Google, matching how it’s already known on Android phones.

Right now, Quick Share lets people send files like photos, videos, or documents between Android devices, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs quickly and easily. It’s a simple way to move stuff without needing cables or complicated steps. The name change won’t affect how the app works—it’s still the same fast and reliable tool.

The idea behind this update is to keep things consistent. On Android, it’s always been tied to Google’s brand, but on Windows, it just went by “Quick Share.” Adding “Google” to the name helps users know it’s part of the same family of tools they might already use. This could also avoid confusion with other apps that have similar names.

For now, this is just a rumor based on clues found in the app’s code. Google hasn’t officially said anything about it yet. If it happens, Windows users will see the new name in a future update, but the app’s job—making file sharing smooth and painless—stays the same. Keep an eye out for more news as it comes!
