Tue Dec 31 20:01:05 UTC 2013

I have just trıed and it worked.
firstly You need to open the document whether it's a word document or
a picture or a folder. Then the share button on the tup gets
activated.
you can share via e-mail twitter facebook or text
I used e-mail and it worked
Thanks I'll put the folder on my PC and share it on my Iphone
I liked this idea
Thanks again for sharing
