Nearly all file sharing applications today restrict you to sharing one file at a time, but with ShareDirect you can share the entire contents of a folder easily and securely. ShareDirect allows you to connect any folder on your PC with one or thousands of authenticated ShareDirect members in just a few clicks. The folder-to-folder connections are established directly from your Windows File Manager, creating instant, trusted private networks that you control.

It simply doesn't get easier than this. Finally, a secure file sharing application designed for any PC user.

Instant folder sharing
ShareDirect transforms your Windows File Manager into a powerful, easy-to-use and secure instant networking application by allowing you to connect your folders with the folders of other ShareDirect members. Inviting a member to share a folder takes seconds, and you can begin sharing files instantly.

Intuitive interface and controls
Manage your local and shared documents from a familiar Windows Explorer environment. Your shared folder window is automatically separated into local and shared documents with ShareDirect's split window design. You can easily identify shared documents and view their file size, the date they were modified, and their owner.

Bandwidth Optimization
ShareDirect ensures optimal performance within your bandwidth limitations by transferring files on-demand to minimize network traffic. Laplink's patented SpeedSync® technology transfers only the changed portions of shared files for even faster downloads and bandwidth economy.

Drag-and-drop or double-click commands
Simply double-click or drag-and-drop the remote document you want into your local File Manager window to download the document.

Compatibility with any file size or type
ShareDirect allows you to control what folders you share and what documents you download, regardless of the size or type of the file. You have total control.

Compatibility with firewalls and routers
ShareDirect automatically determines if a firewall or router separates your machine from other ShareDirect members. If so, ShareDirect securely establishes a 256-bit encrypted connection between the authorized users via the ShareDirect relay servers. Your data and your PC remain safe at all times.

Color coded file system
ShareDirect color codes all available, previously copied and unavailable remote documents. At a glance, you know which documents you have on your computer and which documents are available in remote, shared folders.

High-level encryption
ShareDirect supports 256-bit encryption. All traffic is automatically encrypted end-to-end across network firewalls and multiple users.

Laplink Antivirus™
ShareDirect's built-in antivirus engine protects your PC by automatically scanning all network downloads. Laplink's antivirus technology won the prestigious 100% Virus Bulletin award and is certified by ICSA Labs.
