A distributed share folder & file discovery system allows different local computers to discover hosts and share folders without having to go through a central master browser. The local computer sends a device name query directly to any remote devices connected to a same network. The local computer then sends out a share query to the remote devices identified during the device name query to identify any folders or files that are available for sharing (shares). The local computer assembles a list of shares available on the remote devices and mounts any of the shares that are selected from the list. |
