Share is a free, desktop-based large file sharing app that has no limit on file sizes, download speeds, or monthly download bandwidth. However, files can only be shared among users that install the ‘Share’ application on their computers.

Although not a peer-to-peer sharing app, Share employs the BitTorrent file sharing protocol within a simple and user friendly program; however, it will not provide a public torrent download, nor does it provide a publically accessible URL (that can be published on websites for example).

Note that share uploads your files completely to their servers, and you do NOT need to keep the file on your system or keep your PC online.

Share restricts file sharing to people that you know (i.e. you cannot publish a URL for random people to use, and you have to share with individuals that you know). In the larger scheme of things, this is probably a good thing that makes it different from all the various ‘file locker’ type sites, and might well be an important detail that prevents (it or makes it much less likely) to be shut down.

What is not entirely clear however, is whether Share will use your computer’s bandwidth to upload files in a peer-to-peer fashion (it does NOT seem to be the case).
