WarpShare

WarpShare lets someone share files directly from their own device and give another person a link to browse, download, and work with those files immediately.

It is different from GitHub forks. With WarpShare, they do not need to publish anything first, set up a repository, or add people as collaborators. They just share a direct link to files on their device. While you work, they can see the output directly.
