From what I read (doesn't guarantee accuracy since it was on the Web) is
that Google's Quick Share was derived from Samsung's Quick Share, but
Google made their variant compliant with more than just Samsung phones.

  Yes, Google's Nearby Share merged with Samsung's Quick Share:

'Quick Share lets you send to other devices directly from the Android
sharing menu'

  As to what is/does what, there are at least four components:

- Android:

  - *My* Quick Share app (and related QS Agent and QS Connectivity apps)
    is from Samsung. Probably because 1) Samsung Quick Share predates
    the merge and 2) I have a Samsung phone (since 4+ years).

  - I'm sure Google Pixel phones and other non-Samsung phones will have
    the Google Quick Share app

- Windows:
  As mentioned before:

  - Google 'Quick Share from Google' Win64 *program*,

  - Samsung 'Quick Share for Windows PC' UWP *app*.

  N.B. 'Proof' of the merge: (As mentioned before,) The ''Quick Share
from Google' Win64 program lives in "C:\Program Files\Google\
NearbyShare\nearby_share.exe". I.e. the external/icon name is
'Quick Share from Google', but the under-the-hood name is still
NearbyShare\nearby_share.exe.
