What's so great about WebShare?
For people in any type of professional business that need to deliver files - images, text, videos, documents, sound clips, whatever - there are many different ways those files can be delivered. FTP, email attachments and courier, to name but three.
The main disadvantage with most methods is that they involve taking a copy of a working file. As soon as a file is copied, the potential exists to end up with several versions.
The ideal scenario is to allow your clients and remote users to share your files just like your clients were part of your local network. When a file is ready for collection, simply tell parties where they can find it and allow them to take it when they are ready. If an alteration is made to the file, it is automatically updated. No need to re-despatch it. Similarly, users can deposit their files too.
Of course, nobody in their right mind would open up their local file server to users on the Internet - the security risk is just too great. But this is exactly what HELIOS WebShare lets you do. It effectively allows you to share parts of you fileserver storage with other users on the Internet, but in such a way that it's impossible for them to access anything else.
WebShare's ability to allow users to share your live files is unique. It makes file-sharing over the Internet incredibly easy, very fast and extremely secure.
