Sharing Things with Others

This section is only relevant for users who have a network card installed in their
Note
HP Brio PC.
The great advantage of being in any sort of network — be it computers, or a more
general company-wide network, is the power to be able to share resources.
Leveraging shared information reduces costs and improves efficiency.

What Does Sharing Mean?

Sharing things over a network means making them available to other users on the
network. A hard disk, for example can be shared; if the disk is on your HP Brio PC,
you tell the computer to share it, and with whom.
Likewise, you can also connect to things other people have shared. You must tell
your HP Brio PC to connect to a resource that someone else has shared.
The HP Brio PC lets you connect to, and share information, such as folders and
documents, or peripherals such as printers or CD-ROMs, quickly and easily.

Just What Can be Shared?

Disk Drives

Where large amounts of information should be freely available for everyone in your
business, complete disk drives can be shared. If you need total flexibility, everyone
in your business could share their own disk drive.
Alternatively, if your business really only needs one central place where colleagues
can share information, then share only one disk drive.
To connect to, or share a disk drive, see the Communicate & Share window in the
HP Brio Center.
