#mediasharing

It is always handy to have shared content over home networks The easiest way is to do this with a PC or a laptop. People like me do not want to have a machine running all the time only for this.

The much easier way is with Routers enabled with media sharing ports. So, here it is. We use a router with a USB port to connect a flash drive or an external HDD which can be accessed on every device connected to the router. (might require an additional app to access the content but that`s okay)

This is not new at all.

The other useful advantage of having this setup is that it acts as an expanded storage for your devices which are not enabled with SD card slots. You know what i mean if you are using an iDevice with 8 or 16 GB storage.

My personal choice here (no i don’t need an super powerful one) is Dlink 506L, which is currently available @1200 - 1300 bucks. This device is very handy to create hotspot on the go with inbuilt battery which means you can watch movies or share content even when you are travelling (It acts as battery bank, supports 3G dongles and other features as well)

In modern technology era, file handling is very important for managing the resources online. The reason is obvious as so many folks are engaged in various activities for working online and from remote places. Many resources are available to handle the big media & document files online but the most popular resources are accessed frequently via a few top popular media channels.

We will discuss here the basics of file handling, resources needed to manage them and more.

What is file sharing?

As per John Pereless Technically the practice of to transmit files from one computer to another through intermediate network or via a network of computer or by Internet, is called file sharing.File sharing or media sharing is the public or selected sharing of resources, computerized data or space in a network with many levels of access constraints.   

File sharing could be a standalone pc that evolved from removable media by network protocols, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP). starting within the Nineteen Nineties, several remote file-sharing mechanisms were introduced, as well as FTP, hotline and instant messenger chat (as in IRC).

Operating systems [OS] additionally offer file-sharing strategies, like network file sharing (NFS). As per John Pereless, most file-sharing tasks use 2 basic sets of network criteria, as follows:

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) File Sharing: This is often the most preferred method, however compromised, methodology of file sharing attributable to the employment of peer-to-peer code. Network pc users find shared knowledge with third-party code. P2P file sharing permits users to directly access, transfer and edit files. Some third-party code facilitates P2P sharing by assembling and segmenting massive files into smaller items.

File Hosting Services: This P2P file-sharing various provides a broad choice of well-liked on-line material. These services are very often used with web collaboration strategies, as well as email, blogs, forums, or different mediums, wherever direct transfer links from the file hosting services will be enclosed. These service websites sometimes host files to modify users to transfer them.

Once users transfer or build use of a file employing a file-sharing network, their pc additionally becomes a section of that network, permitting different users to transfer files from the user's pc. File sharing is usually black-market, with the exception of sharing material that's not proprietary or proprietary. Another issue with file-sharing applications is that the downside of spyware or adware, as some file-sharing websites have placed spyware programs in their websites. These spyware programs are typically put in on users' computers while not their consent and awareness.
