It's simple enough. Here are some "how to" instructions:
Posting using Metrofied Skydrive File Share
·
If you have a predefined PUBLIC folder use it for sharing. That way you know which files are out there for others to see. If not create a new folder.
·
Beside the "Sort by:" drop down there are 3 icons: Details View, Thumbnail View and Details pane. I prefer to work in the details view.
·
On the top "menu" there is a "Create" button, select "folder" and name it.
·
Click on the folder name to enter the folder
·
On the top menu bar there is an "Upload" button. Find the file and click on it. It will take several seconds to upload the file.
·
Single clik on the checkmark box, or right click on the file name
·
click on the share option
·
you should see a new dialog with 3 options on the left side. Choose "Get a Link".
·
In the right side of the pane you will have 3 options: "View Only", "View and Edit" and "Public".
·
click on the button under the appropriate choice
·
copy the generated link
·
click on done to close the dialog
·
Paste the link in here or where ever it is needed.

It is simple enough. First thing to remember is never post anything on a file share (share being the key word!) site (public or private) that you wouldn't
be willing to see posted on a public bill board.
Create a "sanitized" version of the file that does not contain any sensitive personal or corporate information
Pick a file share service:, Skydrive, Fyels, Ge.tt, Crate, to name a few) and sign up for a FREE account
Follow their instructions to upload the file and to mark is as public shared
Copy the link to the file
Paste it in the post back here.
This link has instructions specific to MS Skydrive:

NOTE: MS has added file structure validation to Skydrive. If your problem is file corruption, like the “missing
XML end tag” problem, you can no longer upload the files to skydrive. Use one of the other file sharing site.
FYI:
MS has change the use term on Skydrive. Originally they offered 25 GB for free. They have decided to reduce that to 7 GB for new users. Anyone who is already a member can "grandfather" to keep the 25 GB allowance.
You have to log in to your account. You'll see that your limit has been reduced to 7GB. Go to Manage Storage.and click on
the button to "Reserve" 25 GB.
Your limit is back up to 25 GB.
