Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a project I have been working on: RQuickShare Pi.
It is a Raspberry Pi focused fork of RQuickShare, made for Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit on ARM64. The goal is to make Android Quick Share work naturally on the Pi, with a real desktop app experience instead of a generic Linux build that doesn't support Pi hardware.
This is currently v0.0.1 alpha, but it is already public and usable for testing.
What it does:
Lets a Raspberry Pi send files to Android Quick Share devices
Lets Android phones send files to the Raspberry Pi
Runs as a desktop app on Raspberry Pi OS
Supports tray behavior
Can start hidden in the tray on boot
Includes Pi focused install and uninstall scripts
Includes a wiki with setup, boot behavior, troubleshooting, and Samsung notes
Is built and tested on real Raspberry Pi hardware
Important note for Samsung users:
On Samsung phones, "Share with Apple devices" can prevent the Pi from appearing during Quick Share discovery. The wiki documents the setting to turn off if your phone does not see the Pi.

P.S: If you can't support with Ko-fi but still feel like you want to support this project (and me in general) just star the repository on GitHub! (both of these are completely fine)
RQuickShare Pi is based on the open source RQuickShare project and keeps the GPL-3.0 license and credits. This fork is independent and focused specifically on Raspberry Pi OS ARM64.
I would love feedback from other Raspberry Pi users, especially anyone testing with different Android phones or different Pi setups.
This project was made with much ❤️ for the community.
