Fully customize your file server
Sharing files across your local network just got easier! Swift Share allows the easy creation of both Windows and Macintosh share points. Take control of Mac OS X's built-in file servers and tweak them to perfection.
Manage specific share points
Share points are points across the network at which remote users can access your files. Mac OS X gives you one default share point: your home directory. However, if you're anywhere but home, you won't want to be giving everyone access to your entire home directory! Using Swift Share, choose only which folders you want to share and which users have access.
Manage users and groups
The power of Swift Share doesn't end at its ability to manage your share points. It also offers unique flexibility to manage users and groups on your system. For instance, create a new group of sharing-only users to access a "Games" folder on your computer.
Tweak every possible server setting
Swift Share also gives you more than just start and stop controls for the powerful file servers built-in to Mac OS X. Customize nearly one hundred aspects of the Apple and Windows file servers. From user limits, guest permissions, and logging to workgroups, authorization modes, and greetings!

User Reviews
"Best way to share files on your network! I tried a few different options and this one takes the cake. At first glance it can seem pricey, but I assure you it's worth it. You won't find anything even remotely worth it anywhere else." — May Hart
"Makes file sharing to a PC easier than ever. The functions that this app offers should just be a given default in the OS, in my opinion. Apple should seriously partner with Koingo and integrate it." — Christina Salazar
"Amazing price point. Does everything you could possibly need from an app like this. Makes it ridiculously easy to create share points like I've never seen before, and you don't have to share your whole Home Directory!" — Jo Carroll
"When they say it's "fully customizable", they mean the possibilities are literally near endless. I can do everything I've ever wanted with this app. Honestly." — Emilio Jefferson
"Koingo has this uncanny way of doing everything they do well, and this application is no exception. Everything about it from the price to the functions to the way the functions are performed is just phenomenal. Two thumbs up!" — Marianne Perez
"Apple tried to do what Swift Share does, but Swift Share does it way better. Much simpler and far more refined. Yes, Apple can do it too, but much less effectively. If you're looking for an app to do things right, go with Swift Share. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed." — Pauline Norton
"HUGE time saver. I use this for work and it's just wonderful. I sometimes wonder how many accumulative hours I've actually saved since getting this app. Probably a pretty mind-blowing amount." — Amy Lane
"Vista made it incredibly difficult to share files properly between Mac and PC. Swift Share came to my rescue. I think I can safely say that I would be pretty lost at this point without it." — Archie Owen
"SharePoints is good, but Swift Share is better. Much better. Swift Share gets updated much more frequently and the developer makes sure to keep right on top of customer support for it. Incredibly easy to set up and use. Never again will I use anything less." — Amos Russell
"Sharing across different operating systems has always intimidated me. I ended up getting every Koingo App in a bundle, and upon discovering this one I feel like my life has changed dramatically. So simple and effective to use; I never dreamed it would be this easy to share across different platforms. Koingo has done it again." — Hilda Diaz
