Monotype fonts allows users to search for a variety of fonts to meet their needs. This tool is one of my favorites because it allows users to copy/paste their text into a document or download the font for future use.

Given it requires downloading the app to be provided access it is difficult when explaining to partners when sharing. Would be easier if you can download from the app after being provided access.
