Years ago we worked with a single computer and stored all documents and files in its memory, but nowadays we work remotely, online, in a cooperative way, etc. All this leads us to need to send and share files<\/strong>, let’s see four of the most convenient and effective ways to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. AirDrop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AirDrop<\/a> is the easiest, most convenient, fastest option and does not impose any size limit. Of course, the two computers have to be physically together<\/strong>, within Bluetooth range to be able to negotiate and establish the connection to share the files. If so, the steps are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Right-click on the file in question.<\/li>
  2. We rest the mouse over Share<\/em>.<\/li>
  3. Choose AirDrop<\/em>.<\/li>
  4. Select the person to whom you want to send the file.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. iCloud Drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Another excellent option to “send” a file is to use iCloud Drive. And we put quotation marks on send, since what we will actually send is a link that will give permission<\/strong> for the other person to download a copy of the file that we have stored in iCloud Drive. The steps to generate this link are these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. We right-click on the file in question.<\/li>
    2. We rest the mouse over Share<\/em>.<\/li>
    3. Choose Share File<\/em>.<\/li>
    4. Select Copy link<\/em>.<\/li>
    5. In Access allowed to we select Anyone who has the link<\/em>.<\/li>
    6. In Permission we choose between Read and Write or Read only<\/em>.<\/li>
    7. Click on Share<\/em>.<\/li>
    8. We paste and send the copied link to the clipboard by the system that is more comfortable for us.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      3. Messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      A very simple system: send the file through the Messages app. iMessage, the communication protocol between Apple devices, will take care of the rest. Here, however, we must keep in mind that we can send a maximum of 250MB per file<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
