So, Samsung seem to have updated and broken, quickshare.
Before, I'd click on video files, click share, it would say UPLOADING, and I'd copy the link, send in an email and the files could be downloaded.

Now, when I click share, it comes up with 'scanning nearby', NOTHING about uploading.

If you click on the qr code, it says copy url BUT when you click to go on the link, there's NO option to download the files!

I'm using this to send video files to housing about ongoing asb issues. 
They need to be able to download them!

White screen is my friend's Z-flip 3 that's still working same. 
Black screen is what my S23 Ultra is now showing

Samsung, what are you doing?? You've broken something that was working fine

Reading from the description it is meant as direct share between compatible devices

Hopefully you can use other file sharing web services

Then why did it used to say "Share to any device.
Create a link that can be opened on any
phone, computer, or other device with a
web browser."

Why did It work like that but suddenly doesn't?

It was supposed to be like Apple's AirDrop.

Your comment is meaningless, when it worked like that but now doesn'tScreenshot_20230827_191725_Gallery.jpg

Yeah, so why change something that was working, into something that's not?
It always stated the same thing on the app description. That hasn't changed.

Just the nature of the beast. Features get added, subtracted, changed.

Thing is, you can still share using the qr code but can't download them?
Seems they've just broken it

What happens when a link is received? Is the file viewable/accessible?

Does it work if you share with contact, as in it uploads the file and makes the link downloadable? Option below

Viewable but downloadable, so not really sharing is it.
They used to be able to download the files and recently used them in court case
