Do you work in a local computer network and want to know all the details of each computer connected to it? You have to know that although you can get this information manually, it is always better to do it by taking advantage of some of the applications that have been thought to give us a hand in this regard. Among them, it is clear that SharedMon is one of the ones to analyze.

The first thing you must consider about SharedMon is that it is a relatively straightforward tool that does not consume too many system resources. Yet, it offers us tremendous help in these exceptional cases. This platform will allow you to control all the details regarding the resources consumed by your operating system, which are shared on a computer network.

Evidently, and before going on with all the details of this utility, you must take into account that, unlike many other similar ones, this one stands out because it is ultimately translated into other languages. Not only that, but the translation is well done, something that does not always happen, and it is from this feature we are sure that its use will be much easier, especially for novice users.

Having clarified this, the primary use of SharedMon is to show us, through a simple interface, which devices are connected to our shared network, and what folders or files they have access to. In this way, you will always be aware of the details of each connection through the appearance of pop-up windows that will warn you when any situation has changed.

However, you have to remember that SharedMon is not an application that can replace an antivirus or a firewall since it does not perform intrusion prevention actions on your network or anything. The only thing it does is inform you about the changes that may occur in the devices or equipment connected to your network so that you can eventually analyze the execution of some other complementary tool.

In other words, SharedMon has been created so that you will never be left without knowing who is connected to your Internet network, nor how they access the elements you have stored on your computer, always considering a shared network. Of course, this tool is handy for those places like offices where it is expected that several PCs are connected to a shared network between them.

Some of the tabs with information we can find inside SharedMon have to do with the open sessions, the connected users according to the name of their computer and its IP, the resources used by those users and paths, etc. Of course, you can also access the shared resources' details, when they have been shared, with whom, etc.

And in which cases are its alarms activated? Basically, in the following cases: when a user accesses a shared folder or file when new drivers are loaded in the system, when the programs determined for an automatic startup are modified, when tasks are added in the scheduler, or when new TCP connections are established.

An interesting issue that SharedMon raises, a bit unlike other applications that work only as an alert, is that it allows us to effectively and, from a central computer, close the connection of another secondary computer. In this way, if you find that an intruder is accessing shared files through your network, you can close their session so that they no longer have the chance to do so.

SharedMon's customization options can also be attractive, especially for those users who are looking for concrete solutions, taking into account that you can determine whether or not you want the warnings to have sound if you would like to modify the path of the log file if you wish to the verification and updating of data to be performed constantly or every certain period.

Regarding the user interface of SharedMon, we have to say that we first liked it because everything is translated, and without errors, into many languages. But of course, we must add that its design is clean, that it is easy to access one or another tab to view the contents we want, and that it has some essential icons that help when interacting with it.

In summary, if you work with a shared network to which several computers are connected simultaneously, we recommend downloading an application like SharedMon or another similar one. This way, you will have a watchdog or monitoring of all the computers connected to that network, the files being shared, or any other information you consider essential.
