10 Options for Secure File Sharing

File sharing is a great place to start when it comes to promoting cooperation across your team. You can choose who has access to which files, and those you choose as contributors can view the data from anywhere -- provided they have an internet connection. Because of this, employees can work on the same project at the same time, even if they’re across the country.

While there are many benefits associated with file sharing, such as simplicity and centralization of information, it is important to take heed of the risks.

Some online apps for file sharing require the firewall be shut down. This not only leaves your network open to viruses and bugs, but could potentially lead to the physical, though likely unintentional, download of malware. Other risks include accidentally downloading copyrighted material or storing internal files in a public data house.
