You can read the post and the subsequent comments here. "

"Apple stores information about you, and you can download a copy of what it has. Apple knows the apps you've downloaded, the music you've downloaded and the books you've purchased.

"One of the justifiable criticisms of the iPad was that it was difficult to impossible to transfer files between many apps or networks. With the addition of some apps like PocketCloud and FileBrowser, and the improvement of the Open in… function in later systems , especially iOS 6, this has become even less of an issue. Still, I'm terms of downloading files on web based apps, you were often limited to photos from the camera roll. This was the case with the Edmodo app. An Edmodo app update earlier in the year allowed access to the Camera Roll and Google Docs. This however, was still too limiting to use the Library/Backpack feature of Edmodo to upload, store and download most files. Today that changed. The latest Edmodo iPad app now adds File Sharing functionality, both uploading and downloading to Edmodo' s Library (for teachers) and Backpack (students)."

"Most people who are familiar with 3d printing have been to Thingiverse.com or at least have heard of it.  With over 1 million uploads to the site, its the place to go if you need a 3d printable model of most anything.  But where else could you check to download 3d models if you wanted a variety? I've put together a list of all the 3d model libraries out there in order to help give you more options as makers.  If I missed one or if a new website pops up after this post goes live please let me know and I'll get it added to this list.  I can't wait to see what you print.  Send me a tweet @Makerspaces_com "
