 |groups.io, or one of the gaggle of Social Media hotspots.  I didn't
 |explore those.

 |Cloud user...  It seems after so many years it shouldn't be this hard.

I used to have a dropbox.com account for this purpose.
The free version offers 2GB of space and much more.
(I used it only once or twice in the end, with a few snippets of
text data to be shared, now they auto-closed the account again
because it was stale.  All iirc.)
