I am teaching remotely on short notice, and using SAS Studio for the first time. I have dozens of sample files and sample programs I would like to be able to share with my students - is there a way to do this? (Downloading them all, then emailing them all, then having them upload them all is something I would rather avoid).

This should be possible if you are all using the same server. Talk to your SAS admin person about set up.
If you are using the SAS On Demand for Academics then l doubt it could be done in SAS. Look for shared "cloud" file storage system. see @jenburry's response.
If you create a course in SAS OnDemand for Academics and have them enroll in it you can share the files with them! Here are some links with more information about how you can do this:
Thanks - this should do the trick. I am having trouble figuring out what my course path is. All libname attempts so far have failed - I didn't see it in the instructions, beyond it involving my_shared_file_links in the path.
Definitely use the approach indicated by @jenburry but I've gotten into the habit of having most of my macros and data for common tasks on GitHub which is then accessible anywhere via the URL so it doesn't matter much what system I run or where. This probably requires re-working your programs though and if it's short notice may not be a priority.
