Its become
common situation that we have multiple computers,laptops . We need to transfer
data between them ocassaionally. We don't need to use USB drive all time to
transfer data or using mail service for sending files. You don't need to mess
with complicated windows networking settings. Here are lots or easier way than
this for transfer of data. Users worry about transferring large files because
if we transfer with USB drive, it'll take so much time for transfer. Here we
have multiple solutions for easy access explained below.
Share Large Files
1. Windows Home
Group
In past
handeling sharing through network was tough task for users. Users have to
struggle with complecated settings of network. But after windows7 and now in
windows8 company gave an ultimate feature called Windows Homegroup. Using this
you can share large files over the network. ou just need to create Homegroup
from the homegroup option within Windows Explorer and you will get the
password. Just fill the password to nearby computers and then you can join your
homegroup. Now you can acces your shared files from other computer over the
network.
2. Dropbox LAN Sync
Many people
transfer files using cloud storage like google drive, dropbox and skydrive. You
you are transferring files using this over network then its too time consuming.
You need to upload large files on cloud and then you download those files on
other computer. Its being so silly.
Most of us
don't know the feature of Dropboc LAN Sync. Its easy and you can share large
files instantly.
Dropbox
offers LAN Sync. If two computers running dropbox on same network. They can
syncronize files between them without long upload and download. If you add 1GB
data into your Dropbox you can easily access that on other computer on same
network. Best of all you can share folders on dropbox with particular person so
that can be accessed by them. For small files you don't need to use LAN Sync.
For that you can other cloud services like google drive and skydrive.
Bittorrent Sync
If you want
to share large files without going online. I mean like Dropbox Sync which
upload it to internet. You can directly go to BitTorrent Sync. It doesn't use
cloud storage so you don't need to worry about your cloud space. you can share unlimited data using
this. You just have to configure BitTorrent Sync to only work between computers
over the network not on over internet. BitTorrent will automatically
synchronize shared files and folders without copying it. Just install
BitTorrent Sync on both computers, choose folders you eant to share and
generate "secret". Use that secret on other computer running
BitTorrent Sync. Then it will keep that folder in synchronize. This will happen
on LAN. Here you don't need to worry about user permision, you just have to
provide secret for sharing files nad its done.
