P: Bring Quick Share back to Photoshop (removed from 23.3)

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.

I hate this. Please Adobe bring it back. It was a super fast way to share an image to iphone without all work of naming, saving and then sharing to apple device that you do not always need. Pleaxse bring it back. This is silly! Be more user friendly and helps us to speed things up

Does anyone know where the little "share" button is in the new photoshop or where it is under FILE> Sharing?

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum so that proper help can be offered.

That I know just saying that's pretty much the only other step I know of as well in order to share on mac. I'll try the whole Adobe Cloud thing and try to share from that and see how it is and report back

I also want the share option brought back. I do not use the Adobe Cloud, which now seems to be the only option for sharing. Adobe would like for me to pay a monthly fee for storage space in their cloud. I'm already paying a monthly fee for  Photoshop.

Hello

Previously if I wanted to share a file which I'd edited in PS and wanted to send it to iPhotos on my Mac or wanted to send it to Lightroom, I would just click the share button top right and I would be given those options. But now with Photoshop 23.3.1 it seems I have to keep sharing to the cloud. I do not always want to do that.

I cannot find the way to send the edited file into iPhotos or back to Lightroom.

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks

Peter

His question is rather not about the reasons, but the sense of this decision.

We all know this function but to not have to save a file in order to airdrop was good especially when we're sending proofs to a client or posting on social media as a work in progress. Now we've gone back to where everybody will have a proofs folder filled with files that are not finals
