In the conventional file sharing support systems, users have to predetermine which files should be uploaded from their own PC. For this reason, other members can only get useful information from the limited contents in the uploaded files. There might be useful information in the files that are dismissed by the owner. In this paper, a new file sharing system that automatically accesses to the dormant files which are relevant to the upload files is proposed. As a result of evaluation experiments, the system promotes accessing to the dormant files, and the effectiveness of proposed system was confirmed.
