Classrooms need file sharing that works for everyone: students on phones, students on Chromebooks, students without email addresses and parents who check messages once a week. Here is how to share files in a classroom without the usual friction.
Teacher to Student Sharing
Method 1: QR Code on the Board
- Upload worksheets or resources at easysend.co
- Display the QR code on the projector
- Students scan with their phones and download
No student login. No app. No email. Works with any phone camera.
Method 2: Link in Google Classroom or LMS
Paste the EasySend link in your Google Classroom post, Canvas assignment or any LMS. Students click and download without leaving the LMS.
Method 3: Printed QR Code
Print the QR code directly on the worksheet. Students who need the digital version scan the code. Students who lose the handout scan a classmate's copy.
Student to Teacher Sharing
Students submitting assignments:
- Student uploads their file at easysend.co from phone or Chromebook
- Student pastes the share link in the LMS submission or emails it to the teacher
- Teacher clicks and downloads
This works for file types that the LMS does not handle well: large video projects, design files, 3D models, audio recordings and multi-file submissions.
Group Project File Sharing
Students working on group projects can bundle all their contributions under one link:
- Each student uploads their section
- One student compiles and uploads the final bundle
- Share one link with the teacher and all group members
- Everyone downloads from the same page
Why EasySend Works for Classrooms
- No student email required - many younger students do not have email addresses. EasySend requires nothing
- Works on any device - phones, Chromebooks, tablets, desktops. Any browser
- Free - no school budget needed
- Auto-expiry - files delete after 3 days. Old assignments do not accumulate
- No app to install - important in schools where students cannot install apps on managed devices
- All file types - PDFs, videos, images, presentations, code files
For Substitute Teachers
Upload all sub plans, worksheets and materials to EasySend. Share one link with the substitute. They access everything from their phone or the classroom computer with no login required. No need to set up temporary school accounts.
