File sharing with Skype

How to fileshare using Skype By Fiona Beal

Skype is fantastic for sharing large filesSkype is fantastic for quick file-sharing. I recentlydiscovered that a file that is too big for email willgo easily with Skype.

Step 1: Join Skype freeSkype is a marvellous way of keeping in touchwith others. You can use it as follows:• with a webcam (which I normally don’t)• as a phone call• as a chat box

Join Skype here

Step 2: Invite contactsTo add a Skype contact:• Click on Contacts / new contact• In the new screen fill is as much information as you have• Skype will come up with a suggestion which you will recognise.• Skype will send them an invite which they have to agree to

Look for a contact

Usually putting the person’s name issufficient for Skype to find them

Step 3: Send them a documentTo add a document:• Click on their name to pen the chat box.• Open the folder where the document is stored. Click on the Restore/Down button to minimise it a bit so that you can drag the document across• Open Skype and also click on the Restore/Down button to minimise your screen a bit.• Drag the document into the chat box.

The two places open side by side afterclicking Restore/Down on each one

This is a great way to share files if you are at somebody’s house and you don’t have a flash drive. I was at a friend’s house and we each needed a large document from one another…too big for email. I shared mine with my friend and she shared hers with me all in one hit by dragging the documents into the chat box! She shared I shared hers withwith her by me by dragging dragging mine hers across across on on hermy screen. screen

Step 4: Save the file on your computer• From there it is a just a case of saving the document on your computer.• Once you have done that Skype will even show you where the folder is located on your computer.

I have now saved it. This iswhere I put it.

Give it a try!
