Every file storage service has built-in ways to share links to files to people via email, or at least, Dropbox and Google Drive definitely do, and that seems like a very basic function that ought to be pretty in any such service. You shouldn't need to use any additional tools other than the file storage service itself, as far as I'm aware.
Thanks. For the record, FileLink appears to be an e-mail front end only. When I signed up with it, I had to choose a cloud storage service such as WebDav, Dropbox, or OwnCloud. So I set up a Dropbox, having used it in the distant past, and FileLink added itself as a member. Now, when I add an attachment over a certain limit (default 5 MB), the FileLink plugin acts on my behalf to upload the file to Dropbox and send a link to the email recipient. This is not strictly necessary, since I could share the file from Dropbox myself, but it is convenient.

I must look into this "Song Fight Slack Workspace" thing I see on the sticky boards. . .

I just share my entire Logic projects with Toshiro and Crumpet. Let them see my substantial warts and farts.

We use some point-to-point sync tool rather than anything g cloudy. Dunno why.
This is really nice if everyone is using the same version of the same DAW.
