How to share outside your network

Question

If I want to share a folder or a whole drive with people outside my network, how can i do that? Which programs should I use?

Solution 1

Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private network (VPN) application capable of establishing direct links between computers that are behind NAT firewalls without requiring reconfiguration (in most cases); in other words, it establishes a connection over the Internet that very closely emulates the connection that would exist if the computers were connected over a local area network.

Solution 2

You may want to look at Dropbox or SkyDrive.

They are both easy-to-use programs that will allow you to share files with multiple people.

(Not completely sure about the whole drive part, but it will definitely work on folders.)

This is an awesome way to go. I use it a lot. Keep in mind that there are 2 versions of Hamachi2. There is a "web client/server" and also a small standalone executable client/server. Make sure you choose the latter.
