How to Share files
Whether you're working on a document and want to invite collaborators, or have finished working and are ready to assign it to students, you can use the Share feature to send it off!
1. The Share button in the top menu bar lets you access all the different sharing options. Click this to get started.
2. If you have not yet uploaded your file to a drive or Kami Cloud, you will be prompted to upload it at this stage. Choose from Google Drive, OneDrive, or Kami Cloud.
Each of these has different sharing options. Learn more about each below:
