I. Objectives

 Get clear on what constitutes a good file management

system
 Become familiar with some of the more popular image
and video hosting platforms

II. Topic

The topic focuses on the ways on how to upload and

share files online.

III. Presentation/Discussion

There was a time when people stored their files by

sending attachments to their own email addresses. But, as
time passed, file sizes grew tremendously. In fact, most
e-mail services support only up to 25 megabytes of
attachments. What would you do if your file is larger
than 25MB?

FILE MANAGEMENT
It is the process of naming, editing, storing, and
sharing files. With a proper file folder naming scheme and
the use of an understandable hierarchy, you can make the
most of your image and file collection.
File management is often done in the File manager
interface, where files and folders are managed, and you have
likely already been naming, moving, renaming, editing,
copying, and deleting files and folders using this.
An example of naming conventions of folders and files,
as well as their hierarchies, can be as follows:

 Archived
 Online Files
 Work in Progress
o Audio
o Video
o Docs
 PDF’s
 .docx
 .xlsx
o Presentations
 .pptx
o Resources

A well-organized file
management system makes it easy to know where everything is.
As the number of your files and images will grow over time,
try to be consistent with the way you organize your files
as, in the long run, doing so will make things easy on
yourself.
 ONLINE FILE MANAGEMENT AND STORAGE SERVICES
Storing such things as homework, projects, and
research papers have become easier thanks to cloud storage.
These services, which can be free and can also be paid
subscription, give users a certain allocated amount of
memory to store their files, which can be accessed anywhere
by computers, tablets, and even smartphones.

 Google Drive
Google Drive is a file storage
and synchronization service by Google
which allows its users to store and
share files, as well as edit
documents, spreadsheets, slides, and
forms with other collaborators. Files
and folders can be shared and
restrictions can also be set on what
the collaborators can do with the
folders or files shared.

 OneDrive
OneDrive is an online storage service
offered by Microsoft, which it makes
available to its customers. Files stored in
a OneDrive account can be synchronized with
almost any other device that has a OneDrive
application installed in it.

 DropBox
DropBox is a service that allows
the user to edit a file and have that
file sent to, and updated on, the
computers of that file’s
collaborators who use the same
service. This requires participants
to download and install the DropBox
software into their computer, which
then creates a special folder where
files collaborated on are stored and
updated. DropBox is one of the best providers for
transferring and sharing specific photos or folders with
others.

IMAGE HOSTING PLATFORMS

Not all image hosting platforms are equal, which means
you will need to consider which online service, or image
hosting platform, will best cater to your specific needs.

 Instagram
Instagram is an online mobile social
networking service that allows its
members to share life moments through photos and videos and
share them with either the public or only with specific
people.

 Imgur
Imgur is recognized as
one of the best image hosting
sites where speed and quality
of upload are concerned. A
user account doesn’t have to
be created for someone to use
its service to quickly upload
high quality images. It is
useful if you want to share pictures on social networking
sites but don’t want to lose image quality.

 Google Photos
Google Photos is one of the best
applications around where accessing and
backing up photos is concerned. Unlimited
free storage is available, but the maximum
size of photo storable is 16 megapixels.
Using Google Photos is a good way to
manage files, especially if you’re a fan
of Android devices, because it will then
already be built in to your phone.

 Flickr
Flickr allows for free photo
sharing and hosting amongst social
networking users, has editing features
to enhance photos and organizes these
photos into albums for later sharing.

 Photobucket
Photobucket is a site where images, photos, videos,
and slideshows can be stored and shared, even if those
shared with don’t have Photobucket accounts. Users can
use the functional features of the application to put
together photos and videos and music for online posting.

VIDEO HOSTING PLATFORMS

 YouTube
Perhaps the most popular video
hosting website today is YouTube,
which is a website where users can
upload, view, and share video clips.
A video that has been uploaded to the
 site can be immediately watched by millions of viewers,
thanks to its ease of use, and due to the resulting enormous
number of uploaded videos on the site, YouTube has developed
a user-moderation system.

 Vimeo
Vimeo is the first global video
sharing website to support high-
definition video user uploads, shares,
and views. Vimeo users enjoy unlimited
bandwidth, minimal video buffering, can
sell or rent their videos, and, best of
all, enjoy accounts that are ad-free for
uploaded videos.

HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR FILES AND IMAGES

1. First, sign up with any image hosting website.
2. Look for the folder in your computer where the file or photo
you want to share can be found.
3. Select the chosen photos/files you want to upload. Pressing
Shift enables you to select more than one file.
4. Click and drag the selected files to the image hosting
website to upload. Click the Share button for purpose of
allowing others to see or edit such file/photo.
5. Lastly, enter the email addresses of the people you want to
share your files/albums with.

SHARING FILES WITH GOOGLE DRIVE

There are two ways to
share files stored in
Google Drive. The first
method requires you to
enter the email addresses
of the people you want to
share the file with. To do
this, just click the arrow
 down beside folder (if it is a file, right click the file)
and select Share.
Enter the email addresses whom you want to share the folder (or
file), then on the combo box on the side, choose which kind of
access you want to give them.

The second way, if you don’t want to manually enter tons of

email addresses, is to share using “Shareable Link”, which is
automatically generated by Google. You can also specify needed
access limits.
