System and method for information sharing using visual tags

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, the instructions executable by one or more processors to facilitate performing a method for facilitating sharing source data, the method comprising:

• facilitating obtaining an image of a visual tag from a first device, wherein the visual tag comprises a visually encoded first token associated with the source data, wherein the first token is a non-public token;
• facilitating decoding the visual tag to retrieve the first token;
• providing for communication based on a first communication protocol to a second device to download the source data using the retrieved first token.

An apparatus for facilitating sharing source data, comprising:

• a processor operable to facilitate obtaining an image of a visual tag from a first device, wherein the visual tag comprises a visually encoded first token associated with the source data, wherein the first token is a non-public token;
• the processor operable to facilitate decoding the visual tag to retrieve the first token;
• the processor operable to provide for communication based on a first communication protocol to a second device to download the source data using the retrieved first token.
