startShare

startShare is a software utility designed to facilitate easy file sharing between devices on a local network. It allows users to make specific folders or files accessible to other computers without requiring complex network configuration or the use of cloud-based storage. The application typically operates by creating a temporary local server that broadcasts its availability to other devices running the same software.

Users can initiate a sharing session by selecting a directory and assigning it a share name. Other users on the same network can then discover these shared resources through the startShare interface, often displayed in a list. Once a shared resource is located, a connection can be established, enabling the transfer of files in both directions, depending on the permissions set by the sharer. The primary goal of startShare is to simplify peer-to-peer file exchange within a trusted local environment, making it a convenient option for quick transfers between personal devices or within small office networks. It generally does not require internet access to function, relying solely on the local network infrastructure.
