Transferring and Downloading Files During a Meeting

During a meeting, you can publish files that reside on your computer. Meeting participants can then download the published files to their computers or local servers. Publishing files is useful if you want to provide participants with a document, a copy of your presentation, an application, and so on.

Files that you publish reside only on your computer—not on a server. Thus, your published files are always protected from unauthorized access during a meeting.
