Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:

Summary

  • Quick Share now lets Android send files to iPhone via AirDrop.
  • The feature allows files to be sent both ways between Android and Apple devices.
  • Initially, Quick Share with AirDrop is rolling out only to the Pixel 10 family, though Google plans to expand it to other Android devices in the future.

I’ve been using LocalSend for my transfers between devices (i.e., mac osx, iOS, and android).

Free and easy.  

Share files to nearby devices.
Free, open-source, cross-platform.

What more could one want?
