How To Use Huawei Share On Huawei And Honor Devices

Put simply, it’s a great way to share photos at full quality, as well as other types of files without having to email them, use Whatsapp or resort to a cloud file sharing service. Here’s everything you need to know about it, including how to use it.

The name ‘Huawei Share’ actually encompasses a number of different features, depending on the use case in question. The basic Huawei Share experience lets you quickly share files to nearby Huawei/Honor devices via a mix of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Huawei Share OneHop adds easy NFC-based pairing between supported Huawei/Honor phones (or tablets) with Huawei laptops, while an offshoot of OneHop is Multi-Screen Collaboration – which lets a user mirror and interact with their Huawei/Honor phone via their Huawei tablet or laptop, including the ability to drag and drop text and files between the two, seamlessly. NOTE: You’ll need to check your device compatibility on Huawei’s website to see which Huawei Share features are supported.

Transferring files between Huawei/Honor devices is a pretty simple affair, but you need to make sure your device is correctly set up first.

Huawei Share is supported by a number of both Huawei and Honor devices but it’s not just phones. Offerings like the company’s top-tier tablet, the MatePad Pro, as well as its latest laptops – the Huawei MateBook D 14 and MateBook Pro X (2020) – also play nice with Huawei Share.
