Fortunately, I already have a Live. Once in, however, my own progress came to a screeching halt. I checked every icon and link and right-button context menu in vein for an option that would allow me to select all files and download them in one efficient click. I could select one file and get a download link along the top. But when I selected more than one file, that nifty little option disappeared. If Microsoft can imagine that I would want to download one of the shared files, is it inconceivable that I might want to download more than one file?
At the same time? Somehow, I managed to back into the solution. Click the link to Return to classic OneDrive. At this point, you can use simple Windows file-management steps to copy or drag-and-drop the OneDrive files to a local folder on your computer. Microsoft developers continue to make the same mistake every time they update an interface — they ignore what users actually do. A human-centered design is a design that begins from the standpoint of the user experience.
Microsoft has always done the opposite. Each UI update imposes changes that developers decide are better. Users are forced to fumble around until they figure out where some useful toolbar or button has been moved to. If enough users complain, a subsequent update brings the feature back — like the Start Button in Windows 8. My recent one-on-one with OneDrive just added another hour to that tally. Fortunately, I persisted in finding a better way, or I would have wasted even more time tediously downloading one file at a time.
Select a file or folder, select the Share tab at the top of File Explorer, and then in the Share with section select Remove access. File Explorer shows the "Remove access" option "Stop sharing" in older versions of Windows 10 for all files, even those that aren't being shared over a network.
This doesn't mean that all of your files are shared—just that you have access to all your own files. If you open File Explorer, go to Network , and see an error message "Network discovery is turned off…. To turn it on, select the Network discovery is turned off banner, then select Turn on network discovery and file sharing. To troubleshoot problems with sharing files or folders, follow the steps below on all computers from which you're trying to share.
Update Windows Open Windows Update. Make sure the computers are on the same network. For example, if your computers connect to the internet through a wireless router, make sure they all connect through the same wireless router. If you're on a Wi-Fi network, set it to Private. To find out how, read Make a Wi-Fi network public or private in Windows Under Private , select Turn on Network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing.
Under All Networks , select Turn off password protected sharing. In the Run dialog box, type services. Right-click each of the following services, select Properties , if they're not running, select Start , and next to Startup type , select Automatic :. Share things with nearby devices in Windows Another tried and tested method of transferring files is to compress them.
Compressing the files reduces the amount of space that is needed to store them. The process of creating a zip file is simple on Windows. All you need to do is create a folder and place all of the files you want to transfer into it.
The files are ready to be sent. Using a VPN or Virtual Private Network is a useful technique for transferring files because it allows you to avoid broadband traffic management restrictions placed by your internet service provider ISP.
Many ISPs control upload bandwidth to restrict the size of files that you can upload. A VPN is used to encrypt your traffic and keep your online activities confidential. So if the quality is a large concern, it is advisable to try an alternative tool. USB flash drives are an excellent alternative if you need to transfer files to a friend or colleague. USB flash drives range in size from 2 GB to 1 TB giving you more than enough space to upload files even of the densest content.
Once the computer recognizes the drive you can drag-and-drop the files you want into it. After that, you can eject the draft and take it to another device or individual. If you want simplicity and reliability then this one is a good choice.
FTP or File transfer protocol is an old school way to transfer files. FTP was designed specifically for transferring large files.
All you need to do to start using the protocol is an FTP client. The good thing about FTP is that what it lacks in security it makes up for with its file management capabilities. The advantages of FTP make it one of the more efficient ways to send files back and forth.
The only problem with FTP is that it is not secure. Usernames and passwords are transferred in plain text so an attacker can read the contents of files. To protect against attackers use FTP for non-confidential data. SSH serves to prevent unauthorized users from viewing passwords and other information through encryption while files are in transit.
To transfer a file the server must authenticate the client user and verify the channel is secure. The inbuilt security features of SFTP make it ideal for sending sensitive data in an enterprise environment. In addition, if regulatory compliance is a concern then the lack of user activity logs can cause problems. With this protocol, file transfers can be authenticated through passwords, client certificates, and server certificates. The main advantage of FTPS is that its encryption makes it a safe way to send confidential information.
It also has the strength of being compliant with most regulatory frameworks. Every time a file transfer is made a port will be opened, which could be an entry point for an attacker.
As a consequence, many firewalls make it difficult to use FTPS connections. There are many free and paid online services that enable you to upload large files and Jumpshare is one of the most popular.
Jumpshare allows you to send up to MB of files for free and record them as shareable links. Whoever has the link can then access the file content. If you compare this with the 25 MB limit of most email services, there is a substantial difference.
These tools are also very user-friendly. For example, in Jumpshare you can drag-and-drop the files that you want to share to the menu bar icon. Then a link will be copied to your clipboard. If you have lots of large files to send then filling up a hard drive and sending it off with a courier is an effective way to transfer files.
Physically sending a large volume of files via a courier is often much faster than attempting to upload those files through a broadband connection. Shipping hard drives can raise some concerns in terms of damage and theft. Send Anywhere is a file-sharing application that allows you to send files with a 6-digit key from your device to any destination you desire.
