TL;DR
- A sharing app called Bada has recently been published on GitHub.
- Bada lets you share files locally with Android devices that have Quick Share.
- This makes it handy if you have a HUAWEI device or the Chinese version of an Android phone.
The vast majority of Android phones have Google Play Services, which come with Quick Share. This feature lets you easily share files with a nearby Android device, Chromebook, iPhone, or PC with the Quick Share app. Android phones without Google services lack this sharing capability, but a new app is plugging the gap.
An open-source Android app called Bada has recently been published on GitHub (h/t: r/Android), and it’s interoperable with Google’s Quick Share service. In other words, the app lets you transfer files between a Quick Share-equipped Android device and a phone without Quick Share. Bada only needs to be installed on the phone without Quick Share.
