How to Wireless Sharing Your Files Between Windows PCs

How do you share your files with people? E-mailing, coping them to USB stick or uploading them to the cloud? What is the best way to share file with others?

In the past, if you tried to share a file, you had basically 3 options. 1. By Email, it is an easy-to-use method. 2. Use File Transfer Protocol. Sharing files via FTP is pretty old but works like a charm. Most power users use this method to share and transfer files because creating your own FTP server is like creating your own private cloud. 3. For big size file, you may copy the file to a disc and hand it or mail it to the recipient.
