Abstract
File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information. The advantages of the existing file sharing repositories are limited by the factors of the cost and usage of multiple repositories for different purposes. This paper presents the development of an intelligent web-enabled facilitation system called Smart Desk which provides a single file sharing interface to the users, with the capability of virtually unlimited space. Smart Desk uses the services of other repositories by storing the data on other networks, and thus providing virtually unlimited space to the users for storing data. The drag & drop based single interface allows the users to easily view, edit, delete, upload, and copy data. A usability study has been performed to evaluate the efficacy of the system. The evaluation shows that Smart Desk is a useful interface for sharing files which is time effective and user friendly.
