Samsung's application lists for Android 10 label it Quick Share, and newer phones show it as Quick Share Agent. It runs when you share or when your phone is visible to others.
If you disable it
Quick Share can no longer find nearby devices or send and receive files. Sharing links and cloud uploads are separate.
