OnShare now available for general release
Z GROUP, the marketing-led technology services company, is pleased to announce
that after the successful trial release of the OnShare software, as announced on
31 March this year, it is now available for general release. OnShare can be
obtained by either downloading it from www.onshare.com or by accepting an
invitation from a current OnShare user.
OnShare has been developed by former MOD scientists and uses patented military
grade security. Its 2048 bit encryption makes it virtually impossible for
OnShare connections between users to be breached. OnShare allows users to
securely share any content held on their computers with people they know and
trust, ensuring that users have complete control over which files are shared and
with whom. For the first time users can, with the OnShare technology, create a
secure Instant Private Network (IPN) over any Internet connection with no
upfront cost and without the need for any hardware. OnShare also integrates at
the lowest level of Windows possible, allowing easy file sharing from within any
Windows application without the need to move files to a shared folder.
Key Features of the OnShare software:
• Enables secure sharing of any files and folders between PCs without
the need for a conventional network connection
• Creates real-time dynamic networks over any Internet connection
• Integrates into Windows applications
• Transparently operates through software or hardware firewalls
• Delivers secure chat functionality including real-time file sharing
• Downloads and installs easily in minutes
• Files can be shared from their original location
• Can be used globally from any Internet connection
Jamie True, Joint CEO of Z GROUP, commented:
'OnShare was initially released to be tried and tested by a selected user base.
Following this successful invitation-only launch, it is now at a stage where it
can be rolled out to the wider public. We anticipate that OnShare will address
the ever increasing need for secure file sharing.'
