By now you have all heard of blockchain. It’s the super secure payment transaction network that started the cryptocurrency craze a couple of years ago. By design, this technology decentralizes stored data and eliminates a number of risks associated with centralized data retention. Many large companies are looking to harness the power of the blockchain, including HTC with its own The HTC Exodus blockchain phone, and now it looks like Samsung is jumping on that train too SamMobile, the Korean company is working on a sharing feature, called Private Share, which will use the blockchain to securely transfer files between devices (say two Galaxy Note phones). Samsung has already introduced the quick share feature and there is a neat tutorial how to use Galaxy S20 and Note 20 Quick File Transfer Quick Share and Private Share works similarly, at least on the surface.
Both the recipient and the sender will need to have the private sharing app to initiate a file transfer. The app will have cool features like an expiration date on files and messages, as well as preventing re-sharing. The most important difference, however, is that the transfer will take place on the blockchain, so messages and files will be protected from sniffing and interception by hackers. It’s entirely possible that the new feature should debut with the The Galaxy S21 flagship we are waiting for January.
