SlideShare is an online platform for sharing presentations and documents that was founded in 2006 and is now owned by LinkedIn. Content is displayed as slides that can be viewed and downloaded by others. SlideShare is commonly used for educational purposes by businesses sharing training materials, as well as for marketing presentations. While it allows easy sharing of files, SlideShare lacks editing capabilities and centralized file storage. In December 2020, SlideShare will be taken over by Scribd.
