Sharing files can lead to malware infection, security breaches, or loss of confidential information. If proper security measures aren't in place, files sharing can considerably outweigh the benefits and expose sensitive data in your company to newly emerging threats. In the course of our work, we sometimes need to share files and folders on our Windows PCs. However, if the security parameters do not meet the required levels, the data being shared will be accessible and visible to anyone, even if they are not authorized.
