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.

Been 2-years since this thread started and don't think this feature will ever come back. My workaround has been Dropbox. Anything I want to transfer I save it there and download to my phone form the dropbox app.

Ugh.  So annoying that sharing takes fifty clicks or sending share links...  This feature was SOOOO useful and now we're back to classic feature bloat with the lame new "share" link.

holy.. how is this still just gone, vanished, disappeared for good after all these comments? the reasoning is the most funny thing ever, talking about redundancy of features, as if there was any convenient replacement to quickly sharing to the photos app on Mac OS....

i went the extra mile and reinstalled the old Photoshop 2021 (22.2) which at least is still available in the CC app for install so i still can use the share function on an ancient Rosetta build.

I think I may have been the person that originally requested the share button be re added. That was over a year ago. Hopefully they are not that far behind…

And I can’t afford all these extras, so I won’t use cloud. Many of us are the same. I’ve had to let most of my monthly services like iCloud storage go. 2023 has gotten out of line expense wise!

We as users, should petition Adobe to reinstate the feature.
By @Anthony Davenport 

 

Just note that this thread is already a sort of petition, and it is one Adobe actually reviews on their own website, because some requests in this Ideas section have an Adobe-assigned status, some even have a status of Released (i.e., they did it). So this is a good place for it, and as I write this there are 10 pages of comments (so, hundreds of comments) in this thread, with 152 upvotes at the top. That might be as good a petition as you’re going to get.

 

If you sort the Ideas category by Upvotes, it looks like this is #5 for Ideas that are not already Released or Declined.

 

Just because it gets a lot of user attention doesn’t mean it gets worked on next. Any developer has multiple priorities driving what features and fixes go in, so that might be why they still haven’t addressed this. I’d have thought they would have made this a higher priority, because Share is such a basic part of macOS compatibility, almost all applications support it. The number of comments shows that users expect Share to be there. But apparently there are other forces at work here.
