What is Opera Unite?

Opera Unite is a new technology developed by Opera, one of the leading Internet browser software developers.  Opera Unite streamlines the process of sharing files with friends, family, and the Internet in general.  Opera Unite makes use of JavaScript and HTML technologies to build a simple, intuitive platform where people can share files, communicate with one another, and synchronize their data over numerous and varied devices.   This technology is integrated into the latest version of Opera desktop browser, making the software a great, all-in-one solution to your Internet needs.  This means that you just have to download and install the free Opera browser, make an Opera account at their website, and start making use of Opera Unite.

Features that put Opera Unite above other file sharing services

*  No need to upload to share files -  Perhaps the best thing about Opera Unite is that it takes the time-consuming task of uploading out of the file-sharing equation.  Instead of having to upload files to the Internet for other users to get, Opera Unite allows users to connect to your Opera Unite server from which they can view and download content straight from your computer.  In other words, data are shared directly from one user to the next.

*  Unique ability for expansion and customization -  Another great feature of Opera Unite is that it supports an application system.  Developers can make applications (much like add-ons or extensions) for Opera Unite, allowing users to download and use these applications easily.  Applications range greatly from simple note-taking apps to social networking tools and even instant messenger chat apps.

*  Media player and photo sharing capabilities -  Aside from sharing data, such as office documents or notes, another great feature of Opera Unite is that it allows you to access your music library straight from your browser.  The media player web application built into Opera Unite allows for the streaming of files from the source straight to your web browser or streamed to your media player of choice.  Photo sharing has also been streamlined, allowing you to compress, upload, and share your pictures with just a few clicks of your mouse.
