Adobe, bring back the Quick Share button that was at the top right of Photoshop (it was just removed with the April release of Photoshop 23.3)

The reasoning for removing it is stated as "due to low usage, desire to simplify the options bar UI, and redundant functionality to other export functions."

But there is no other export function (that I am aware of) that allows you to send an image directly to another device via AirDrop -- This was extremely convenient as I didnt have to save/export a file onto my HDD everytime I wanted to send something to my phone or tablet.
Please bring it back and tuck it away somwhere if you have to.

As @kritagyan noted, the latest version of Photoshop brings back native Mac/Windows sharing options like AirDrop, Mail, Nearby Share & more.

We’ve also added Slack integration, Quick export & Copy to clipboard for all your assets, all accessible via the Share button at the top right.

Let us know what feedback you have!

We are working on a new version of Share that restores the OS sharing controls, including Airdrop, Messages, and will also add Slack.

Well, there have been/are actual bugs that have gone unfixed for longer than two years in Photoshop …

It's been over two years...they're too busy with updating Generative Fill lol Kidding aside I just use Dropbox and download it to my iPhone from there.

@milliep48700865 unfortunately assumptions don't trump reality. The team has to work based on concrete feedback not conjecture. I'm suprised someone hasn't come up with a plugin or extension to restore.

No matter what multiplicator you try to introduce, the posts exceed the votes considerably – so far only 160.

@isaiah22871980z3on I would agree being a Mac user impacted by this myself, however 248 replies over a 2 year period does not scream "widely used" compared to the total user base.

248 replies probably represents 24,800. Not everyone takes the time to write.

@isaiah22871980z3on that feature has been gone due to Mac OS restrictions for a long time.
