homegroup
Local file sharing
A homegroup is a network feature in older versions of Windows that allowed computers on the same home network to share files, printers, and media libraries easily.
Users would join a homegroup with a shared password, enabling simple file sharing without complex network configuration.
Microsoft discontinued the feature in 2018, replacing it with other sharing methods.
The term occasionally appears in religious contexts for small faith-based gatherings in private homes.
