How It Works

Content Circles uses a distributed network architecture to ensure that only authorized users can ever access the shared content. This hybrid "private cloud" / peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture ensures your content is automatically encrypted, compressed and replicated among users' computers so everyone always has access to the latest content, even when offline.

Security

Content is never stored in the "public cloud" with Content Circles. This means maximum privacy, security and control for you and your content.

Flexibility

Content Circles works on both Windows and Macintosh computers, so you don't have to worry about what type of computers others have.

Whether you are sharing videos, music or photos, Content Circles is the best way to keep family and friends connected. Want to share your files? Just drop it in the circle and it's done!

Content Circles allows you to share files of any type and size, including large files such as videos and photos that cannot be sent through email. There is no theoretical limit to the file size or the number of files you can share through Content Circles. The only physical limitation is your computer disk space! Content Circles compresses and encrypts files before sending them out, so it is highly secure and very efficiently, even over slow internet connections.

Ever wondered how to implement version control for your important files on your home computer? Or how you can automatically replicate your files between multiple computers? Content Circles makes this possible by automatically replicating and distributing all files and their revisions between all other computers in the Circle. This provides members access to the latest content.


[ - ]

Content Circles never receives or maintains a copy of a document. The file moves directly from one member's computer to another member's computer to ensure complete privacy. Prior to transferring a file, Content Circles encrypts and compresses files for security and transfer efficiency. Content in a Circle is always in the control of the owner. If the owner removes a file from the Circle or removes the Circle itself, the file or Circle will be removed from all members' computers as well. Unlike email, you retain management rights over your files even after they have been shared with others!


[ - ]

Store your documents in a Circle and if you suffer a hardware failure, no worries. Just download Content Circles to your new machine and it will immediately begin replicating and restoring the documents from the copies stored on your Circle members' computers the first time you reconnect.


[ - ]

Content Circles automatically saves each document revision as its own version, eliminating the need to track incremental changes and providing an easily reviewable revision history of each document.


[ - ]

Want to make sure your content is always available to others, even when you go offline? Just install Content Circles on another computer that is always online and set it up so that it automatically receives any new Circles you create. It will act as your proxy and deliver your files to the other Circle members when you are offline. Even better, the Private Team Cloud can be by used by all of your team members for their Circles.

Content Circles is the simplest way to send and receive large files. There is no theoretical limit to the file size or the number of files you can share through Content Circles. The only physical limitation is your computer disk space. Once the files are placed in the Circle, online members receive the files momentarily after synchronization while those offline receive them the next time they login.

Content Circles makes managing successful projects safe and easy. Team projects tend to be dynamic in nature with participants and documents changing rapidly during their life cycle. To combat this volatility, Content Circles provides communication and document handling tools such as peer-to-peer (P2P) content management, instant messaging (IM) and Presence Detection. This means your projcet stays on-track and on-time!

Many federal agencies as well as state governments restrict public and private companies from sending files with sensitive information in them as email attachments to avoid potential privacy and security issues. Designed with privacy and security in mind, Content Circles is the ideal solution for this problem.

In specialized transactions where privacy, security and control are paramount such as in M&A, Content Circles helps with the concept of Virtual Deal Rooms by encrypting and delivering files directly to members' computers. Also, when when a file is deleted from a circle, or the circle itself is deleted, the file or circle is also removed from all members' computers as well!

Setting up an intranet or an extranet is instantaneous with Content Circles. Just download Content Circles software to your desktop, create a Circle, copy files to that Circle, and invite the people to that Circle using their email addresses. Immediately the invitees will be notified via email that they have been invited to be part of the new Circle. If the invitee already has Content Circles software installed on their machine, then they just click on a Accept or Decline for access to the new Circle. Otherwise, the invitee downloads Content Circles software and accepts the Circle.

There is no theoretical limit to the file size and storage using Content Circles. You are only physically limited by available disk space on your computer. You never have to use an FTP site again!

Content Circles allows internal and external users to send and receive files and folders using a familiar email-like interface but without clogging up and slowing down a company's email infrastructure. Using Content Circles, users can just drag-and-drop files into a Circle (like a folder on their desktop) and share that Circle with anyone with an email address. The files are sent via a secure peer-to-peer connection to recipients instead of as email attachments. More importantly, this will also relieve the IT department from having to keep increasing email users mailbox and attachment size limits.


[ - ]

Content Circles requires no additional IT support other than allowing users to download Content Circles software. After downloading and installing the software on their computers, users manage the software just as they manage any other software on their computer. Content Circles software has a small footprint, runs in the background and does not impact other tasks or applications on the users computer.
