Peer Global File Service

Peer Global File Service is a simple tool that lets teams share and access the same files from anywhere in the world without emailing them back and forth. It works like a super-smart shared drive that automatically keeps everyone's copies up to date no matter where they are or what device they use. It stores all the master copies of your files in a S3-compatible object storage, which acts like a giant, reliable digital warehouse that never loses anything. When you open or change a file, the service quickly grabs the latest version from this S3 storage and sends it to your computer, so you always see the most current information. This clever use of S3 makes the whole system fast, cheap to run, and able to handle huge amounts of data without needing expensive servers.
