Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, file-sharing software works in one of two ways. A program can either access files on another computer or access files stored on a server. When the program accesses files stored on someone’s computer, it’s known as peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shared storage consolidates files and other information in a central resource that can be accessed or shared among multiple users and data systems simultaneously. Gathering and storing data in a single, shared resource streamlines archive and backup processes, and simplifies information security.
