Gnome-user-share offers a user-friendly file-sharing solution by combining multiple open-source projects. This software streamlines file sharing by simplifying the process, making it easier for users to share files among themselves.
One of the main benefits of gnome-user-share is its ability to run in the background while you're logged in. When you enable file sharing, a webdav server is started that shares your $HOME/Public folder. The share is then published to all computers on your local network using mDNS/rendezvous, making it easy to access your shared files from any device.
It's worth noting that gnome-user-share relies on apache for the dav server, so you'll need to have that installed in order to use this package. Additionally, Howl is used for mDNS support, so you'll need to ensure that mDNSResolver is running as well.
Overall, gnome-user-share is a solid choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-use file sharing solution. Its seamless integration with Gnome and use of established, reliable software packages make it a reliable choice for users of all skill levels.
