I'm looking for a cheap / free way to share files with my folks / family overseas. I normally use Onedrive (I'm running the Office 365 1TB package) and Google Drive (Free version) - but I don't want to tie the files to my personal accounts in case something happens to me / them.
Also the reason I'm asking for windows / newb friendly apps is for the other users / family members who may not be as [H] as you or I might be (some of my relatives and my parents are in their 70s, so ... I try to keep it as simple as possible).
This is what I was thinking of doing: When I want to share stuff - nothing confidential or controversial - letters or pictures - I could upload it to the cloud and either share the link or convert the link to a QR and send that to them. Whoever receives it can just open their smartphone QR app and scan it and hopefully, boom done!
Nothing complicated, no FTP, no web browsing - just a smart phone with a QR reader app and maybe a PDF reader app.
Thoughts?
