Abstract
A system for determining sharing options comprises a client with a web browser, an application server, and a content server. The browser tracks the user'"'"'s browsing activity and transmits user data associated with the user'"'"'s browsing activity to the application server. The application server analyzes the received user data, determines sharing options for the user based on the analysis, and transmits the determined options to the browser. The browser displays the received sharing options in response to the user indicating a desire to share content with the intended recipients. The system also enables the user to share with intended recipients the content stored on the user'"'"'s machine. The browser transmits the content from the user'"'"'s machine to a server accessible by the intended recipients. The system then creates a link for accessing the content stored on the server and transmits the link to the user and/or the intended recipients.
