Sharing files
There are various ways to share files, from emailing them to using web storage like Google Drive or Dropbox. We usually use Google Drive because its is free, there is a good amount of free storage and it is accessible to anyone regardless of operating system. You will get smoother sharing if you have a gmail address but this is not completey necessary.
