The download, installation, and account creation process is straightforward, with no router or firewall configuration necessary. In GigaTribe, once you’ve set up some files to share, you can chat with other users directly through the program.With a familiar and friendly interface, GigaTribe targets casual computer users who want to share media collections with friends. From there, you can set up shared files and folders, and browse and search data that others have shared with you. The Explorer is also where you manage other settings, including chat, video, and audio. In the Explorer you set up groups of shared files and folders, as well as permissions for access–one folder could be public, another could be for one specific user. You gain access to more features, options, and settings by clicking the blue monitor icon for the Explorer. The interface of the application opens with a vertical list of contacts from the IM accounts that you added during initial setup. You can set up secure sharing by adding only QNext contacts, or you can make the files publicly available to anyone with a Web browser by selecting ‘Broadcast to Web browsers’. Then click Share Folders and Files and drag and drop the data you want to share. Once you have one or more friends enrolled in your list of QNext contacts, you can set up shared folders through “zones.” Click File, Share Content to open the QNext explorer. To add friends, you enter your log-in data for popular instant messaging systems like AIM and Google Talk, and then ask your friends to download, install, and register for QNext. Network configuration and input device detection–for hardware such as microphones and cameras–is automatic.
