I removed all Google services from my phones. On my second phone i need to share files with peoples. So this is a problem as Quick share doesn't work without Google play. I don't want MicrG. Any alternative??

Localsend is great!

If you need something that works with just a web browser, try wormhole.app

If wormhole is blocked or not working, use any 'Send'^(github.com↗)^ instance, which is a fork^(github.com↗)^ of Mozilla's Firefox Send^(github.com↗)^.

But the problem is not all people use it.

You're not going to find an alternative that everyone has, because only Quick Share is included by default on Android devices.

If you need something more universal, you should try a file share service with linking like Dropbox. I know it's not ideal to replace Google with another paid service, but it is the other option.

Either both people have to have the same app to exchange the file (which if you want something common, means Google, Apple, Samsung, etc), or both people access a server to share large files.

Proton offers file sharing, too.

Localsend has the option to share as a link (URL or QR code) that others can open in their browser, provided they are connected to the same local network.
