Yes, I would. The reasoning why is because LAN stands for Local Area Network. For people to access the hardware and software resources they would have to be apart of my local network. Which means that they would have to be with me at the time as a LAN is a private network that does not allow internet connection. Another reason why I would use LAN is if the file is large in size, it would be quicker and easier to transfer the files across a LAN as the transfer speeds are extremely fast.
