A method for sharing a source dataset between a first user device and a second user device, the method being executed by a first processor communicably connected to the first user device. The method includes accessing a configuration file having instruction sets enabling retrieval of source datasets stored respectively in corresponding data storage services; receiving an indication from the first user device including a selected source dataset from the source datasets, and a corresponding selected data storage service from the data storage services; extracting an instruction set corresponding to the selected source dataset; executing the extracted instruction set, and retrieving the selected source dataset onto the first user device; and transferring the configuration file to the second user device to enable the second user device to, when executing the extracted instruction set, retrieve the selected source dataset from the selected data storage service.
