Do you need a program that allows you to communicate and share files with only trusted friends?  Try RetroShare.

What is the big deal about this program?

It allows you to safely and securely communicate with your friends. It provides file sharing, chat, messages and channels. It is mainly designed to provide a decentralized Friend-2-Friend network, which allows you to share stuff with people you know and trust and not the entire world.

Its decentralized Friend-2-Friend network means there is no central authority to remove content. This makes it extremely difficult to intrude and hardly possible to monitor from an external point of view.” This makes government monitoring and prosecution impossible beyond the will of Retroshare users.

Some of the interesting functionalities of this program include: Reliable Identification and Authentication of your friends; an introduction scheme which connects you to the friends of your friends, and facilitates network growth; encrypted Communication, ensuring all shared information is known only to you and your peers.

A Communication Platform which can potentially support services such as Secure Email, File Sharing, Streaming, Video or Voice over IP, Photos, Wall and Messaging

A Decentralized Social Sharing Network designed for the people with no dependencies on any corporate system or central servers.

Any downsides?

Well it’s a good software to have if you really value your privacy and would like to keep it within close friends only.
