Breez

If you have friends or colleagues come over and you need to share a large file with them, then the traditional way would be to use an external drive, flash stick or pen drive. Then again, if you set a connection for the computers to the same WiFi network, things may be simpler than you thought.

Breez is an application designed to help you manage and share files with other over the same network without too much hassle.

The application comes with a user-friendly interface that comprises of two main tabs, one that grants you access to the files and folders on your PC and another where you can view a list of the network users you are connecting with. As you would expect, you need to create an account in order to use the network sharing feature of the tool.

Functionality-wise, the utility is as simple to use as it looks and sharing any type of file entails a simple task of selecting the user. Besides sharing, the app allows you to manage files and perform basic tasks, such as copy, paste delete or send to.

It is worth mentioning that the program is quite secure and that you can create a hotspot just for transferring a file once for instance. If you need to share sensitive data, hit the Beam button to create a hotspot from your computer along with generated security codes. The codes can be shared on both desktop and mobile devices.

As far as the settings are concerned, the application allows you to view all the paths shared so far, including the ones that are secured and shared with one member only. Whenever you need more, you can check the Log, Transfer and Notifications area to view in-depth reports about actions performed.

In the eventuality that you want to share documents, video, images and other data with others, but dislike the complications brought up by cable settings, then perhaps you can consider giving Breez a chance.
