Share files and photos

With SkyDrive, it’s easy to share files securely and easily with your friends or coworkers. They won’t need to install any special programs or sign up for a new account, and they can use any web browser to get to the files you share with them. And you have control—your files will only be shared with the people you choose.

Share any file—even big ones

Send photos and files with a link or email without taking up space in the inbox. Instead of running into size limits for email attachments, you can email a link to photo albums or any other file on SkyDrive.

Here's how:

Upload your file to your SkyDrive. (Files can be up to 2 GB in size, depending on how you upload them.)
Select the files you want to send:
If you’re on a phone or tablet, choose Send a link.
If you’re on a computer, choose Share and then decide how you want to share:
- By email.
- With a link (handy if you want to copy and paste into an instant message or webpage).
- On Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more—you can share SkyDrive files with any contact or network you’ve connected to your SkyDrive account.

Post files to a website, blog, Facebook, or Twitter

Embed files directly on your website or blog. Select any uploaded file and click on Embed in the navigation bar to generate HTML code that you can paste directly into your blog.
