In the present day, sharing videos over the internet is effortless with social media applications. However, once the expiration date passes, the share key is deactivated, preventing further sharing. For those who wish to share videos with friends and family but are unsure how, this article compiles methods to share videos without a share key.
Let us introduce the first method for sharing videos without a share key. This method involves transmitting the video data "as-is" as a complete video file to the other party. When sharing a video file in this manner, the recipient will need sufficient storage space to receive it.
To share a video file as-is, you can utilize tools equipped with file transfer capabilities. Here, we recommend some tools for sharing video files directly.
GigaFile is a free tool that enables the transfer of large files. By simply accessing the official website, you can use it without the need for installation. It offers unlimited file transfer (up to 300GB per file) for free. No registration is required for either the sender or receiver; just upload the file and share the generated URL to transfer the data. Video files can, of course, be sent directly.
Using GigaFile is straightforward. Access the official website, upload the file you wish to transfer to GigaFile, and a download QR code will be displayed. Simply send this to the recipient.
DataBin is a service enabling the sending and receiving of large files. It allows the transfer of large data that cannot be attached to emails smoothly. Simply upload the file to the data transfer site, and the recipient can download it within the specified validity period, completing the transfer. Note that while DataBin is free for up to 2GB, exceeding this limit requires a purchase plan.
Using DataBin is also simple. Access the official website, upload the file, set up a password, obtain the download URL, and send it to the recipient. The recipient can then download the data via the provided URL.
Another commonly used and simplest method involves sharing videos through video streaming sites. Most people have likely used this without even realizing it. Let's examine this method in more detail.
YouTube, operated by Google, is the world's largest video-sharing service, boasting approximately 2.3 billion users. It is mainly used for uploading and viewing videos. Videos uploaded by users are automatically converted to a format that can be played in browsers or applications and can be viewed by others. When watching a video on YouTube and wishing to share it with friends or family, simply click the share key.
This is the easiest method. Play the desired video on YouTube, click the "share" button beneath it, and you're set. Alternatively, you can share the URL of videos uploaded to YouTube specifically with friends and family.
TikTok is a video-sharing platform with 9.5 million monthly active users in Japan (as of 2019), predominantly among the younger generation aged 10-20. Videos uploaded to TikTok can easily be shared with a single click to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LINE. Additionally, sharing via SMS, messages, and email is also possible. Furthermore, uploaded videos on TikTok can be set to public or private. However, please note that repeatedly sharing and downloading may degrade video quality.
Lastly, let us explore using external storage for sharing videos. This method involves using online cloud storage services. Unlike physical USB drives, cloud storage offers convenience without the risk of loss and enables access from anywhere at any time. Additionally, sharing videos via external storage does not cause any loss in video quality.
iCloud is an online storage service provided by Apple. It allows you to back up all your photos, videos, notes, and documents saved on your iPhone. No matter where you are, you can securely store your data across all your devices seamlessly and also share it effortlessly with friends and family. iCloud offers free storage for files within a 5GB limit, and if you exceed that, it provides 50GB of storage for a monthly fee of 130 yen.
iCloud is highly recommended for Apple users. If you are an Apple user, you likely already have an Apple ID, making it easy to use iCloud on your iPhone or iPad.
Dropbox allows you to manage all your photos, files, and data in one place. While using familiar tools, you can organize your files meticulously and find important documents with ease. Particularly for business use, Dropbox makes it simple to share files within a team. For personal use, you can compile the content you wish to share into a folder, copy the link, and share it via email, enabling the recipient to download it. Naturally, sharing video files with friends and family is also straightforward.
If you want to watch your favorite videos without knowing the video path or even after the access period has expired, and share them with friends and acquaintances, StreamFab is highly recommended.
StreamFab is one of the products from DVDfab. StreamFab allows you to download videos from over 1,000 streaming sites, including Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and U-NEXT, making it one of the most versatile downloaders globally.
Downloading videos with StreamFab is also simple.
First, download StreamFab from its official website and install it on your computer.
Then, launch StreamFab and enter the main screen. Play your desired video or paste the URL of your favorite video into StreamFab.
Next, StreamFab will automatically analyze the downloadable video. Once the analysis is complete, the download settings screen will appear. After confirming details such as quality, format, and subtitles, click "Download Now," and StreamFab will start downloading the video.
Once the download is complete, the video file will be in the output location. You can transfer this video file directly or share it with friends and family on social media. Since the data is downloaded, there is no quality degradation. Notably, it is very convenient as you can download videos even if you don't know the password or if the share key is unavailable.
This article summarized how to share videos with friends and family, even if you have forgotten the password or the share key is unavailable. We also introduced recommended tools and software. Of course, in addition to mainstream options like "iCloud" and "YouTube," we also covered how to use the StreamFab downloader and "Dropbox." Moreover, most of these can be used on both computers and smartphones, so if you are interested, please give them a try.
