Files from computer, One Drive and other storage accounts can be shared with people using email for e.g.Gmail,Hotmail etc.

Hotmail is a platform that allows you to set the privacy settings for your attachment where you can control who views, edits or forwards the email to someone else.

Your documents are kept in record when using Hotmail, whether you’ve stored them in your gadget or One Drive.

Sending and receiving attachments has now been made easier due to  multiple email software, therefore now useful documents can be transferred from one place to another using email.
