subject: Free File Sharing Life In It Age Made Easier!! [print this page] The other day my seven year old daughter kept pestering me and her mom for some concrete information and photographs supporting the same on our Family Tree.
While it was easier telling her orally about who all were there in our great family starting with our great grand parents, and we could also produce some photographs of our immediate family. But how on earth are we going to get her pictures of say my dadaji and dadiji who hardly left behind a few black and white snaps and that too torn and faded over time. How we wished we had ready access to at least these kind of photographs in order to make our family tree complete.
But the times have fortunately changed and changed for the good. First the computer and then the Internet and both have combined to lead us to the age of Free File Sharing.
Most sites allow some or a certain category of files for Online file sharing. And there are whole sites devoted simply to Free Online File Sharing. They in fact encourage its valued customers to not only to freely download whatever interests them in their sites but also if possible to Upload file online a few things as well.
Simply put Online Free File Sharing allows and enables you to have open, unhindered access to other people's documents, data, photographs, images, statistics, videos, etc. And all for free.
The files can be on anything under the sun. If you are a student you can have all the access you would need to all relevant documents relating to your subject of study. Industry related data if you are a professional. Virtually all these online files are available for free and easily reached with the press of a few buttons in your keyboard. Some people call this kind of sharing of files online P2P sharing (Peer-to-Peer or Person-to-Person) sharing.
But alas, all good things have a dark underlining to them. So does Free File Sharing. It most certainly comes with a few pitfalls and perils that you as the user be better aware of.
Free File Sharing is not always legal. Since all kinds of files on people, industry, firms, cities, music, films, documentaries are all the time sent around freely there are bound to be copyright and intellectual infringements. To cite an example, the music industry and film line artists are not at all happy at the plummeting sales of their original scores that are a direct consequence of the free file sharing concept.
Secondly the spectre of spyware, malware and all other kinds of viruses that inhabit the cyber space making their ugly present felt in your systems is always there. They can slow down your systems, gain access to your personal folders and data, or even cause your system to crash.
All the same Free Online file sharing is a novel and very useful concept that is increasingly finding acceptance at all levels. Free Offline Sharing of fies is also possible. This is done through the use of pen drives, CDs and network cables. Sometimes even hard disks are copied from one system to the other.
