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.

Can adobe not make a plug-in for the share function so that the people that want it can use it?  I used it all the time.  Please bring back share for my Windows version of Photoshop or make a share for Lightroom please.

Thats amazing ....   I used this all the time to send to my iphone... admitedly it had a lot of bugs and regularly failed but to withdraw it all together with no option to send a jpg to phone is crazy.   Does Adobe actually ask anyone before removing such functionality, and if its to clean up the UI as stated apparently then why not still have it somewhere as an advanced menu option

Dear Adobe please add these features back that were removed not too long ago as it made collaborating with clients who don't have access to Adobe to comment and make changes a dream. Not to mention it resulted from having to save JPG after JPG before sharing via txt message or email. It also made sharing a WIP or final image to social media like Instagram and Behance very easy as well. The Big Blue share button is useless and guaranteed NO USER will use it which you claimed for the removal of the last set of features. ALL USERS WHO AGREE PLEASE UPVOTE AND COMMENT

Yeah not the brightest choice. Have one share button, fine. But don't make it bright blue and don't limit it to cloud files. Most of us will NEVER use cloud storage.

What is mental is that they have this huge blue share button, which is completely useless, but they removed quick share, airdropping to my phone as a designer was one of the most useful tools photoshop had.

As someone else mentioned it was a super quick way to send to clients and post on social media.

Why on earth did they remove this?

Quick Share was one of the only useful "new" features in YEARS.  There's no way that low usage was an issue.  And if you want to clean up the UI, delete literally 75% of everything on every dropdown bar - on one uses any of it.  

 

Bring back quick share.  It's the only way to quickly airdrop files from desktop to phone to ipad for various types of editing and eventual posting.  Completely insane.
