Teachers share files constantly: lesson plans with colleagues, worksheets with students, progress reports with parents, syllabi with administrators. Most of this sharing happens through email attachments, school portals that require logins or USB drives passed between classrooms. There is a simpler way.
The Teacher File Sharing Problem
School IT systems are designed for administration, not teacher workflows. The learning management system requires student accounts. The school email caps at 25MB. The shared drive needs VPN access from home. Parents do not have portal accounts. Substitute teachers do not have login credentials.
Teachers need something that works for everyone: students on phones, parents who check email once a week, colleagues across different schools and substitute teachers who arrive with 10 minutes notice.
