Sharing With the Sphero Edu Native App 

Download a Program File (.lab File) to Send Directly

In the 7.0.0 releases of Sphero Edu, users can directly download .lab files of their programs and store them on their device. They can then share that .lab file as desired (for example, email, external hard drive, cloud storage app, messenger apps, or AirDrop). You can download programs from two locations:

If you receive a .lab file, you can open it in Sphero Edu through the "create program" UI: 


Via a Lesson

If you are a teacher and are using lessons with your students, you can attach a starter program to a Lesson. You can then have your class access it using Lesson Codes or assign the lesson via the class management tools accessible on the Sphero Central platform. 


In-app Sharing

Many of the app clients have a share button on the program overview screen, which allows you to email, message, or AirDrop a program.

Select your desired programs and choose to "Download":


NOTE:
If you download multiple programs, they will be zipped into a single archive. You can unzip to access all the individual files. 

Once you have downloaded your programs, you can share these .lab files and other users can open with the "Open From Device" button on the "Programs" tab:
