Claim:
1. A file sharing method executed by a first terminal, the file sharing method comprising: determining evaluation values for each terminal of a plurality of terminals based on a remaining battery level of the plurality of terminals and a processing time of a shared process; selecting from among the plurality of terminals including the first terminal and based on results of a comparison of the evaluation values, a second terminal to execute the shared process for sharing a plurality of files among the plurality of terminals; assigning the shared process to the second terminal; and causing the second terminal to execute the shared process if a communication speed between the plurality of terminals is at least equal to a threshold, otherwise causing the second terminal to execute the shared process after the communication speed becomes at least equal to the threshold, the shared process including a dividing process for division of a first file into the plurality of files, wherein the second terminal executing the shared process comprises the second terminal writing a second file of the plurality of files.
