![]() ![]() Note that social sharing services differ somewhat from document sharing applications such as Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, which may be used to store and transfer personal files, or to share them with a limited number of contacts, but which are not intended for wider public sharing. As such, social sharing services are in some senses a subset of social networking services. Social sharing services typically offer space for commentary on the documents and artefacts being shared, as well as encouraging users to connect with each other and network around the shared content. Despite the apparent specialisation of these services (with a focus on text, or photos, or videos, etc) many of them, including textsharing services, in fact host multimedia documents and artefacts. Most of these services allow you to make your materials either public or private, though there may be a cost attached to the latter. Social sharing services, many of which have important educational and/or professional uses, facilitate the sharing of user-generated content (UGC) in the form of text, audio, photos, slides, videos or other multimedia creations. All major social sharing platforms have app versions for mobile devices, allowing them to be integrated into mobile learning, and there are a number of mobile-first or mobile-only social sharing services which introduce a geolocation or geosocial networkingelement to this kind of sharing. Social sharing services are classic web 2.0 tools which allow users to share and comment on multimedia materials.
