    Share your content with Opera Unite

    Opera has launched version 10 of its browser. It disrupts the world of browsers as standard by incorporating a real web server, Opera Unite, which simplifies the sharing of files and multimedia content without the users having to upload the items on the Internet. It is simple to implement, and very practical!

    Opera Unite is a feature of Opera 10, which turns your browser and your machine into a multimedia web server. Not only that server can host HTML pages (like web server), but is also capable of hosting services specifically designed for him. These services extend its capabilities and provide features for sharing and exchanging fairly original.

    Thus, you can share photos without sending them before a Web site, listen to your music remotely, to send or receive virtual post-its, etc..
    • You must first install the Opera 10 beta browser.
    • Once the browser installed and running, deploy the Tools menu and click Enable Opera Unite.
    • Click Next, create your Opera account (in the form and providing a valid email address) if you do not already have one, or select "I already have an account" and click Next.
    • In the following screen, select the name of your machine (default "Home" is selected.) This name is important because users remote access to your services via an address type: http://your_machine.your_login.operaunite.com.
      Note that the last screen by default check the "Use UPnP monitoring port of my router". Leave the box checked and make sure that the mode of your UPnP router is enabled.
    • Click Done.
    • Opera displays the component unit and the home page of your site unit that you can customize by adding a greeting and a photo.
    • The flap Unite includes the list of installed services. Six are standard. These services are installed as original but are not enabled by default.

    Share music and photos

    With Opera Unite, it is quite easy to share music and photos. This allows others to access without having to first download the files on a sharing service specialist.

    For photos:
    • Open Opera, and select the Opera Unite.
    • Select Photo Sharing in the list
    • Click Start to activate the service.
    • The setting box appears. Click OK.
    • Click Choose and select the folder that contains your photos.
      Warning: all photos and sub-folders in this folder will then be shared!
    • Click OK
    • Double-click on Photo Sharing
    • The sharing page appears.
      Note, the top right, the URL you will need your friends to access your files from any browser through the Internet. By default, this address looks like: http://your_machine.your_login.opera.../photo_sharing
    • In the Access Control section, set the level of protection:
      • Public makes photos available to anyone
      • Limited for a password (to be defined in the password field) to users who attempt to log in to propose a list of photos.
      • Private limited access to the photos to yourself only (you will need to give your Opera account).


    For music:
    • Proceed exactly as for the photos but use the Media Player
    • The address to access music remotely resembles to : http://your_machine.your_login.opera...m/media_player

      Note that in the case of music, the file is not transferred to the remote machine, but read in streaming.

    Re: Share your content with Opera Unite

    Good morning

    my Opera Unite is always Down?

    I opened the upnp in my router but did not portmap any computer
    Should I do it?

    What about if I want multiple computers in the LAN to be webservers?

    Thank you very much
