data sharing

Passing files around

Data sharing is the practice of making data available to others—between individuals, organizations, or systems.

The term appears frequently in contexts involving research, business partnerships, and technology: The study depended on data sharing between universities.

Data sharing raises questions about privacy, ownership, and security: Users must consent before any data sharing occurs.
