Online file sharing allows you to transfer data files between computers, with users accessing them from any location via a web browser. It's a great option for businesses who need to share large files with a wide range of users without having to send them on physical media or use heavy email attachments.
Sharing online files allows users to sync changes in real-time across all devices that have editing permissions. This is a major benefit over traditional file sharing methods that allow multiple versions of files can be saved and shared. This can lead to major problems and even lose work when the files are out of date.
A common way to share files is through software programs that allow users to connect to one others on a peer to peer (P2P) network and download files from other users’ computers. It is generally free, however certain programs require users to install additional plugins in order to use them. Other programs have waiting limits or download limits that limit the number of files that can be downloaded simultaneously.
Another option is to upload a file on websites that provide users with a link they can click to immediately look at the file. These websites earn money by advertising and by offering premium services, such as the ability to allow more files to be downloaded at once, removing the need to wait or limit download capacity restrictions and extending how long uploaded files stay on the website.
