  2. Navigate to the folder containing the files you want to share using the Navigation menu or the left-side navigation drawer.

  3. Long-press on one or multiple files to select.

  4. Tap the share icon in the top toolbar to open the Share pop-up dialog.

  5. Tap to choose a sharing method and follow the system prompts to share the file or files.

  6. (Optional) If uploading to Link-Live:
