If I get request for full paper and that paper is not free access- How can I respond and help others ?
As regards sharing a final copy, it depends:

I think, however, that there is no problem about sharing an earlier draft manuscript or your typescript that was accepted for publication, prior to the journal's formatting being applied. I.e. it must not have the same appearance as the final published version in the journal.

I would refer to the journal copyright policy or email them asking about the possibility of sharing my own work for non-commercial purposes.
After all, it would look a tremendous hem if I cannot share my own work with academics!
it is a personal decision to share it or not. If its on sale by journals then it may be problematic. Maybe consult with the journals then as an author of a paper and if permission is granted then you may share it at times. If not then preserve the contract with the journal.
