Windows 8.1 includes a new sharing tool that can be selected at any time from the Charms. If you are looking at a picture, file, video, or other type of content that you want to share with other people, click/ touch Share and you will be shown a list of apps that you can share this content with instantly. This list will vary depending on what apps you have installed.
This is where the real power of social apps comes into play and where apps that you can download from the Windows Store can be much better and easier to use than visiting websites in Internet Explorer.
Let’s say, for example, that you have photos that you want to share on Facebook or a video you want to upload to YouTube.

In earlier versions of Windows, you would open Internet Explorer or another web browser, go to the website, log in, and upload them. However, if you have a compatible app installed in Windows 8.1 for these websites—let’s say, a YouTube app—you view the video you want to share, open the Charms, click/touch Share, and you will see the YouTube app appear in the list of compatible sharing apps.
Clicking/touching this app will automatically share the video with the app, and therefore on the website as well, with a minimum of fuss.
