You might be wondering how is file sharing related to entertainment. Well, you can share photos or files with your friends and family members related to a trip you went to, or you can share e-books to read, or you can share movies and links with your friends and family members; it helps entertain people as a community and not just as individuals. But wait! What is file sharing? File sharing is the activity of granting other people access to digital information or resources, including documents, multimedia (audio/video), graphics, computer programs, images and e-books.
There are various ways to share files; the most common methods of sharing files include manual file sharing using removable storage media (for example; compact disk, memory stick, memory card and external hard drive), or centralized servers on local area networks and cloud storage (for example; Google drive, One drive, and Drop Box).
Traditionally, people were restricted to share files either by using paper systems or electronic mail system. However, sharing files using paper systems require large amounts of physical space. Moreover, all people had experienced some limitations in their email systems either by problems attaching of large files, or downloading of large files.
