You’ve certainly got my attention with SHARE. ;-)

If you share the file with “Open Access” we don’t require a login to view/download – just knowing the URL is enough. And the URLs themselves aren’t very guessable (they’re basically GUIDs), so the odds of someone finding the document accidentally are pretty low.

On the other hand, if you specify limited access, the file has an access control list. That does require everyone who wants to view the file to have an Adobe ID to authenticate with. More secure, but more overhead for the people you share documents with. Which one you choose depends on how secure you need the information to be.

Suppose I was to use this for my print-ready pdf files, both my client and the printer guy would require an Adobe ID to view and/or download the PDF?

We don’t have any plans to make a version available to install on your own servers at this time – right now the system requires several diifferent servers behinds the scenes – servers to do thumbnailing and PDF->SWF transcoding, servers to handle web traffic, database servers, and storage servers. Making it all run on a single machine would be no small feat.

If you don’t mind me asking: Are all my shared files uploaded to Adobe’s servers? I’d love to install SHARE on my own webspace! Is every single person that wants to view the files required to create an Adobe ID?
