The internet is a great place to share the photos and videos you’ve taken – and to see the videos and photos other people have taken. In this workshop we’ll cover how you can send photos, videos or other files via your phone to family, friends or work colleagues. We will discuss ways you can backup your photos or videos by transferring them to your personal Pc, hard drive or the cloud. We will review Applications (Apps) that would allow you to edit and share files via photo software or email even if they are large files. We will discuss the privacy implications associated with sharing photos or videos and the need for security.
