An operating system provides an extensible share action to broker content sharing between applications executing on a computing platform such as a personal computer, tablet computer, or smartphone. The share action enables a consistent user experience for content sharing to be implemented across all applications and eliminates users having to switch from the current application they are using to some other functionality in order to share content. Applications can participate with the operating system share action as source applications and/or target applications. Source applications may describe what content is shareable given the current state of their application when the user chooses to invoke the share action. Target applications can be configured to receive the shared content from the source application according to content type, and will expose a companion view of their application to the user that is specifically tailored to facilitate sharing. 1. A system comprising:an electronic device; receive, by the operating system from a source application, a reference to a data bundle; and', 'pass, by the operating system to a target application, the reference, where the source application and the target application are exempt from shutdown by the operating system while the reference is being passed., 'an operating system installed on the electronic device that, based on execution by the electronic device, configures the system to2. The system of where the operating system receiving and passing the reference eliminates any need for the source application and the target application to have knowledge of each other for sharing the data bundle.3. The system of where the target application is further exempt from shutdown by the operating system while the data bundle is being uploaded by the target application.4. The system of where the source application is further exempt from shutdown by the operating system while the data bundle is being uploaded by the target ...
