Here's how to share files (including photos, documents and videos) in Windows 10:Step 1: Find the file you want to share
Open up the File Explorer and navigate to the file or files you want to share.

While there is a one-click Share button in the File Explorer, it's actually hidden inside the Sharing menu. Click Share to open up the sharing menu. Depending on what type of file you have selected, different options in the Sharing menu will be available to you. For example, if you've selected a folder, and not a file, the Share button will be grayed out and the Zip button will be available. From the Sharing menu, you can also zip, burn, print and fax files, as well as modify network sharing options.Step 3: Click the Share button

While sharing directly from File Explorer is certainly handy, there doesn't seem to be a way to share other types of media (e.g., links) that don't appear in the File Explorer. Because there's no longer a Charms bar, you can't simply tap the Share charm whenever you come across a website you want to share to Facebook. Hopefully Microsoft will come up with a solution to this before the final version of Windows 10 drops.
