File Libraries
The file library system is the easiest way to store, share and transfer any type of file. Allow your users to share program and document files. Offer software updates, CD-ROM files, articles, shareware, spreadsheets, and more. Users can scan files by library, category, file name, file date, upload date, popularity, or by using wildcards or Boolean keyword expressions. File Libraries is like File Transfer Protocol (FTP) on steroids.
Best of all, you can charge for access to files, or reward members for their submissions.
