When we are working in a network, there might be many instances when we need to share folders with other users in the network. Although Windows has its in build folder sharing options, it is not very easy to configure. Easy Share is a simple and freeware tool for sharing folders over the network. It is a folder share creation, deletion and editing tool with integrated contact management. You can share a folder with a few clicks.
Sharing is simple task, all you need is to select the folder, create a name and description. You can add users using the manage link at the bottom. Once users are added, you can set the permission (read/ full). You can create many independent users to access the shared folder.
Limitations;
a) Sharing to groups (including ‘Everyone’) is not yet available. Also you cannot create groups of user yet.
b) Since the tool always searches for users in the network, share creation and modification may take some significant time if the number of users with which you are sharing are more.
Easy Share is a simple and effective tool for folder sharing in Windows.
