Sharing Large Files with Others

TC Geeks has an article on sharing large files with others at http://www.tcgeeks.com/how-to-share-large-files-in-the-cloud/.

Two of the cloud resources mentioned were Dropbox and Evernote.  In the Georgia College School of Nursing, many of the committees use Dropbox for sharing information that has no references to students.  The advantage to Dropbox is that it works on all mobile devices as well as Macs and Windows computers.  Evernote is an excellent resource. I have written several blogs about the fantastic features available in Evernote. 

Two cloud resources that were not mentioned are SkyDrive and Google Drive.  One of my research partners and I use SkyDrive for a manuscript we are writing.  The reason is that we use EndNote citation software and we want to maintain all of the formatting.  SkyDrive allows users to view shared items using a URL; however, the user must sign into SkyDrive to make edits.  Google Drive also allows cloud sharing.  Like SkyDrive, users can set up preferences to allow others to view or make edits to shared files.
