Description

gnome-user-share is a small package that binds together various free software projects to bring easy to use user-level file sharing to the masses.

The program is meant to run in the background when the user is logged in, and when file sharing is enabled a webdav server is started that shares the $HOME/Public folder. The share is then published to all computers on the local network using mDNS/bonjour, so that it shows up in the Network location in Gnome.
