Abstract
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for sharing files based on user profile visibility. These mechanisms and methods for sharing files based on user profile visibility can enable community network systems to provide functionality restricting access to files based on the profile to which the file is posted. In particular, a file posted to a profile of one member of a community may be made accessible to other members of the community that are permitted to access that profile.
