Melissa, Mother and daughter could share a newly created GMail account, and use the account for access to files saved in GMail e-mails. The file(s) to be accessed would be attachments to e-mails sent to one another or one's self. However, one would have to change the mail filter so that it would not discard incoming e-mails that were a duplicate of what was in the SENT folder. (The "how-to" on changing the GMail filter so that dups aren't discarded was provided in an earlier post). The above system is being used by another of our members for saving files. The title of each e-mail could be a title and description of what was in the attached file.

I think she might be better off just trying DropBox. She forgets everything, had this info on a flashdrive but left it at home :) I don't know how large this specific file was, something she was doing on Lectora.
