File sharing
We recommend that you do not use "file sharing" (connecting via the network directly from one client computer to another client computer) to transfer files or make them available, as it will expose your computer to security risks and will not be reliable. If you want to transfer or share documents, a better option would be emailing documents, burning them to a CD/DVD, or putting them on a USB drive.
