OK, I figured I would let Jon's slide, but I have to give the advantage of using SharePoint. We all know that files and folders can be shared from a computer but using SharePoint has so many advantages. First, your average user is not going to know how to put a folder on a "main computer" and share it out. She is not going to know how to set permissions. Then, every client computer is going to have to be configured with a shortcut. Hopefully the link doesn't break.

With SharePoint, a user can open a web page and drag and drop a folder or make a new one, drag and drop a file or just browse to the folder on his or her desktop. The admin needs to be none the wiser. The admin can easily change permissions if he or she wants, but generally we leave them open to everyone.

It is unbelievably convenient to open the company site, which contains ALL the information pertaining to the company including every file. Once added, it is available to everyone. Being able to back up every file, folder, calendar entry, etc. with one click is also helpful.

This is exactly what the title references. And, I understand it. No one can ever appreciate the beauty and usefulness of SharePoint until they have used it.
