Provide user with ability to dispatch files to other applications, beyond just viewing - email, social posting, situating in a sharing service, etc.

I think of Send-to and Share-to operations as being the same thing. (I may be missing some important distinction, there.) There are distinct iOS and Android plugins for providing Send/Share operations.

iOS: based on the open-source ShareKit library, there is a PhoneGap ShareKit plugin for using the library.

Android: operation is based on the ACTION_SEND intent, by which an application can identify the substance and type of content to send. Applications which have registered interest in being recipients of that action and type of content will be presented for the user to choose. The Android sharing provision is fairly simple, then, just having to post the intent details. There is a simple PhoneGap Android Send plugin.
