File Sending Tools

The Internet is a great tool for communication. But what would communication be without audiovisual content to discuss? That’s where the functionality to send files comes in. Whether it’s through the ability to attach photos, videos, or music in chat applications such as Signal and Riot, or a service dedicated to uploading and sharing files like Pushbullet, these apps will allow you to share files with whoever you want.
