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.

        Hi @Manifestationbeads 

         

        As Conrad said in his earlier reply, if you need the Share button, you need to run Photoshop using Rosetta. See this help page for details:

        https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-for-apple-silicon.html

        Features not available in the native mode

        Refer to the below list to determine whether to open Photoshop in Native mode or open using Rosetta. 

        To learn how to run Photoshop in Rosetta, see About Rosetta.

        • Import, Export, and playback of embedded video layers
        • Shake Reduction filter
        • Preset Syncing
        • Share an image button / Quick Share
        • Opening or placing U3D formatted files
        • Starting Bridge from Photoshop menus

         

         

        EDIT: After I wrote this, Quick Share was removed.

        If I'm reading correctly, that's just for the M1 chip. Yet the same issue is happening on my MBP with a Core i5 processor. Any suggestions?
