  (On my (Samsung Galaxy A51) Android 13 phone,) I don't see Quick Share
as an app on my app pages. I only see it when I select something (file,
folder, etc.) and then tap 'Share'. Then 'Quick Share' is one of the
share options.

  On the Windows side, 'Quick Share from Google' is a Windows program
(in C:\Program Files\Google\NearbyShare), not a Windows 'app'.

  I use Quick Share if I only have to transfer a single file or a few
files, a folder, etc.. For larger transfers, I use the USB cable.

  'Cloud'!? 'Internet'!? What *are* those!?
