T here are two ways that a person can set up their computer to share files.
One way is by making it available to anyone, and the other is making it available to specific people, which is done by designating a password. According to Zukowski a mapped drive is one example of sharing. Click on file and print sharing. Some of these programs use a centralized server, which means that all of the information is stored on one server. Your files are not placed in a central place but remain distributed on the users systems.
