FILE SHARING DEVICE, FILE SHARING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention enables the sharing of files using information held in terminal devices. A first storage unit (2a) stores shared files. A second storage unit (2b) stores authentication data that authenticates a specific user. A reception unit (2c) receives sharing setting data (6) via a network (5). A determination unit (2d) determines whether or not authentication data (6a) contained in the sharing setting data (6) matches the authentication data stored in the second storage unit (2b). When it has been determined by the determination unit (2b) that there is a match, on the basis of an account (6b) contained in the sharing setting data (6), a creation unit (2e) creates an account (7) that permits access to the files that are shared with a user (A) requesting access to the shared files. A recording unit (2f) records the account (7) created by the creation unit (2e).
