Send/Receive Large Files With Group & Speed Management Using Share

File sharing has become pleasantly easy within the past few years, especially as we now have extremely fast internet connections. Various web services and desktop clients let you share your images, videos, documents and other files, with one another, within a few clicks. One such example is P2P (Peer-to-peer) clients, which connect people through internet via server and client relation. Sometime ago, we covered zeZebra, an application with eye candy interface that let you transfer large files in a very simple way.

It is a portable application that lets you send unlimited files, images and videos to your friends. The data is sent over a private and secure connection without any size limits, and the downloads are super-fast. It allows you to send data to individuals or multiple users at a time using Email IDs. Share also lets you create and manage separate groups of recipients, if you have to constantly share data with some particular people. Read on to find out more about Share after the break! Read More
