Overview
- The feature was discovered in a hidden information page inside the latest Google Play Services build that GSMArena first published, and no formal Google announcement has been made.
- According to the page, the system would run over the same Wi‑Fi network, require the Quick Share app on a Windows PC, and ask both devices to sign into the same Google account.
- Users would be able to select photos and videos on their Android phone for automatic, cloud-free backup to the PC rather than syncing to Google’s cloud storage.
- The hidden page explicitly states that Samsung phones are not supported, a detail that raises questions about device compatibility and how this will interact with Samsung’s existing Smart Switch tool.
- If launched, the feature could give users more local control over media backups and reduce cloud bandwidth use, but final availability, broader device support, and Google’s reasons for excluding Samsung remain unconfirmed.
