Share My Files

Share My Files lets your send your local files to other Windows 8 PCs using either NFC or Wi-Fi Direct, to other Windows 8 apps using the Share charm or to any other device on your network through an internet browser.

For example you can upload your local files to your SkyDrive account, or send them to any other Windows 8 PC using “Tap and send” in the Devices charm, which leverages NFC.

Or you can enable "Sharing on the network" inside the app, after which any device on your home network can download or share new files through a browser. This feature can for example be used to share files with your iPhone or Android phone.

With this app, you can also transfer files between two Windows 8 PCs using Wi-Fi Direct, if your PC supports it.

Note that some Windows 8 apps don’t support receiving folders (SkyDrive, Mail, etc.), and that the NFC feature and Wi-Fi Direct feature only works with other Windows 8 PCs (not Android etc.). This is a limitation in Windows 8.
