Figure 1 shows the flow of the operating method of the system according to the present invention. First, a person of a predetermined age joins as a member of the operator by the activity (banner promotion) of the partner P (s20) (s40). Encourage members to join by real name. However, a member may join in a non-real name by his choice (s60).

After joining as a member, the operator recharges the mileage to the member (s80). There are two types of charging: free charging and flat-rate charging.

After charging the mileage, the member selects whether to share (U) or download (D) the data (s100). If the operator chooses to share the data, the operator imposes a predetermined fee on the member according to predetermined criteria (see paragraph 2 above) (s120).

As a result of the check (s460), if the amount of points is sufficient, the file is successfully downloaded (s465).

When selecting the 'file related' service (s280) in the step (s240), the member at the bottom of the web page 'copy, cut, paste' (s400), 'delete, rename, refresh' (S410), 'registration information' (s420), 'file upload' (s430), 'file download' (s450), one of the service can be selected.

If the member selects the 'file upload' service (s430), the operator checks the file size (s440). If the check result is less than 1G, the file is uploaded immediately (s445). If the check result file size is 1G or more, the file is uploaded after the charge according to the above 2.

When selecting the 'other connection' service (s250) in the step (s230), the member can select the 'shared folder', 'friends' service at the bottom of the web page. If you select the 'shared folder' service (s480), the member again 'add' (s500), 'remove' (s510), 'secondary share connection' (s520), 'refresh' (s530), 'internal folder / File-related '(s540) can be selected one of the services.

In this case, if the manual approval is selected, the ID of the member to be added is checked (s680). If there is an error, the process is performed again (s670). If there is no error, the shared folder is successfully added (s685). If you select auto-approval, check whether there is a password (s690), if no password exists, perform step s685, if there is a password, verify the password (s700), if the password is correct, perform step s685; if it is incorrect, perform step s690. do.
