File sharing refers to the practice of transmitting data and files such as texts, graphics, music, video, and images from one computer to another computer via a network or over the Internet. This can be done in two main ways namely: the peer-to-peer method which entails the transmission of data from one computer to another via a network and the file sync and file sharing devices which entail the transmission of data through websites, applications, Bluetooth connectivity and indeed so much more.
Part 1: The Benefits of File Sharing for Enterprises â—? Convenience File sharing makes the task of accessing the desired piece of information easy, convenient, and instantaneous. This reduces the amount of effort, time, and energy which is in turn deployed to the performance of other organizational tasks. â—? Reduced Costs Since the organizations are not required to own the infrastructure that store, share and maintain the files, the amounts of money that would have otherwise been used to put up and maintain this infrastructure rendered null and void. The organization's operational expenses are therefore reduced. â—? Saves on Time File sharing reduces the amount of time that would have otherwise been used to search and retrieve the required information manually. This time can be further used to undertake other tasks that equally matter insofar as the fulfillment of the corporate objectives are concerned.
