  • Publication number: 20170289235
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses for recipient-based content sharing are described herein. In one or more implementations, input to share content with a recipient is detected. In response to detection of the input, a communication transport for sharing the content with the recipient is determined based at least in part on history of sharing the content with the recipient or a type of the content. The communication transport may be automatically selected from a plurality of communication transports based on the sharing history. For example, the communication transport may be selected based on being the “last used” or “most frequently used” communication transport utilized to share content with the particular recipient. Alternately, a list of suggested communication transports may be presented to the user to enable selection of the communication transport from the list. The content is then shared with the recipient using the determined communication transport.
