P2P file transfer tools are, in some ways, considered more secure than other forms of file sharing. Without a central server to hold on to the files, there’s less of a chance someone behind the scenes will see what you’re sending and receiving.
The tradeoff, of course, is that you have to upload all of the files yourself, each time you want to share something—not so great if you have little upload bandwidth. But regardless, P2P tools are useful when needing to share files within a local network, or between your phone and computer, or a friend’s computer and yours.
