Copying files between computers on the home LAN is still complicated today. For example, using a USB flash drive requires 2 copies (to and from the drive), and uploading to a cloud storage service (e.g., Dropbox or Google Drive) is slow because the average home Internet upload is much slower than download.
With HomeShare, just run an instance on each computer in the network. They will automatically discover the other instances, and allow securely copying files directly between computers (no Internet connection required) using an existing Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable connection.
