SharePoints is a preference panel that brings back one of OS 9's nicer features - the ability to easily share any folder on your hard drive. OS X has a built-in shared folder, but this may not be sufficient for everyone. In my case, we have our CDs ripped to an external hard drive that I wanted to share to my wife's computer. Using SharePoints, the process is trivial.
You could use NetInfo Manager to accomplish the same result, of course, but SharePoints puts a nicer interface on the process while removing the chance that you'll accidentally do something bad while working in NetInfo Manager.
