SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MODERATED AND ON-DEMAND VISUAL FILE DISTRIBUTION

A media file exchange system that supports group collaboration sessions in which media files are being shared with one or more participants. The system augments real-time media collaboration where one or more users have shared media to a group collaboration session. The system allows participants in the collaboration group to indicate their desire to share a media file to one, a few, or an entire group. The media file to be shared and a specific one of the receiving user devices are selected on a participants device other than the device owning the media. The system automatically moderates the exchange of the information between the participants.
