🔘Advantages
🔴No need for a network operating system
🔴Does not need an expensive server because individual workstations are used to access the files
🔴No need for specialist staff such as network technicians because each user sets their own permissions as to which files they are willing to share.
🔴 Much easier to set up than a client-server network - does not need specialist knowledge
🔴 If one computer fails it will not disrupt any,,,,, other part of the network. It just means that those files aren't available to other users at that time.
🔘disadvantages
🔵Because each computer might be being accessed by others it can slow down the performance for the user
🔴 Files and folders cannot be centrally backed up
🔴 Files and resources are not centrally organised into a specific 'shared area'. They are stored on individual computers and might be difficult to locate if the computer's owner doesn't have a logical filing system
🔴 Ensuring that viruses are not introduced to the network is the responsibility of each individual user
🔴 There is little or no security besides the permissions. Users often don't need to log onto their workstations.
