File Sharing Simplified

September 9, 2009 by Daniel James

I know we tend to focus on how easy it is to share pictures, blogs, and other bits of content, but today, I'd like to make mention of another great feature of WeOurFamily: Secure File Sharing.

Many people use email to send files like documents back and forth, and with some success. But how many times have you run into issues while doing this? I've had people claim they lost the email or can't find the attachment, or my email was blocked due to a SPAM filter. With larger files--multimedia presentations, videos, etc.--email really starts to break down. Of course, we cannot forget the security implications of using email as well: email is not a secure medium. It is subject to network sniffing, man-in-the-middle attacks, and depending on your service provider's terms of service, may be subject to other legal obligations.

But there is a convenient solution: WeOurFamily! With WeOurFamily, you can upload any kind of file, not just pictures, and share it with members of your community. With this, you get more control than you would have with email, because you can also choose at a later point to stop sharing the file with particular members. You also get the same level of network security that is common in most online banking websites. (128-bit SSL encryption)

Social networking meets useful, efficient file sharing at WeOurFamily. Sign up today and see for yourself.
