Fájlmegosztó

Fájlmegosztó is a Hungarian term that translates to "file sharing" in English. It refers to the practice of distributing or providing access to digital files for others to download. This can be done through various methods, including direct peer-to-peer connections, centralized servers, or cloud-based storage services.

Historically, file sharing gained significant popularity with the rise of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks like Napster, Kazaa, and BitTorrent. These systems allowed users to directly share files from their own computers with other users on the network, bypassing traditional centralized servers. While effective for distributing large amounts of data, P2P file sharing has also been associated with copyright infringement concerns due to the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material.

Modern file sharing encompasses a broader range of technologies and services. Cloud storage platforms such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive allow users to upload files and then share them via a unique link or by granting specific permissions to other users. These services offer convenience and often include features like version control and collaboration tools.

Businesses and individuals utilize file sharing for a multitude of purposes, including distributing software, sharing documents, backing up data, and collaborating on projects. The technology continues to evolve, with increasing emphasis on security, speed, and user-friendliness.
