Three dots joined by two lines, or a box with an arrow leaving it, marking a share action.
Also known as: Share icon, Three dots joined by lines, Box with an arrow coming out
The share icon has two competing forms that mean the same thing: three connected nodes, and a box with an arrow leaving through its top. Which one a reader sees depends on the platform, and neither has displaced the other.
Marks a control that passes the current item to another application, person or service.
Contexts: Software
Exists in two unrelated drawings that mean the same thing — a node graph of three connected dots, and a rectangle with an arrow leaving through its top edge — split largely along platform lines, with neither having become standard.
Contexts: Software
In one form, three small filled circles arranged in a triangle and joined by two straight lines; in the other, an open rectangle with an arrow rising out through the middle of its top edge.
The box-with-an-arrow drawing serves as a share control on some platforms and an upload control on others.
