Samsung AllShare

Turn your PC into a DLNA server

Nowadays, there are plenty of different ways of sharing multimedia files on our computer with the rest of our home devices, such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, digital cameras, etc. The most immediate solution would probably be connecting any of those devices straight to our PC, whether Windows 7 or 10, by means of the corresponding cable, but a much more comfortable option could be installing a DLNA server on the computer allowing us to interact with all other compatible devices on our network. And if you download Samsung AllShare for PC you can do so in an easy and simple manner.

The easiest way to play music and video on other screens.

But before we carry on, what the hell is DLNA? Well, it's basically the abbreviation of Digital Living Network Alliance, a standard that allows several devices to interconnect on a network to share their contents. It's compatible with plenty of electric appliance manufacturers of the likes of Acer, Motorola, Philips, Toshiba, Sony, Nokia, and of course, Samsung, in charge of developing this AllShare we're talking about.

What can I do with AllShare installed on my PC?

• Share videos, images, and music between devices that can be connected by cable or WiFi.
• Search for and play content on other devices on the network.
• Download the contents stored on other devices.

As you can see, it's an application with which we can create a kind of multimedia network in which our TV, PC, and mobile devices work as network units, being able to share any sort of audiovisual file between them, as well being able to cast contents to share their playback on other screens.
