There will be some scenarios in organization where you want to share a record based on some complex scenario, but you cannot define the complex scenario as a criterion in sharing rule. Then the question is how you can share a record, of course you can share them manually. But how many times you can share records manually, trust me its annoying to share records manually again and again.
Salesforce provides another way to share a record and that is through apex code via share object. So what is Share object? Every standard and custom object will have a share object in salesforce with predefined fields as shown below.
- Standard Object’s Share object will be “sObject+Share”. For example, Account objects Share Object is AccountShare. Similarly, Opportunity objects Share object will be OpportunityShare.
- Custom Object’s Share object will be “CustomObjectName + __Share”. For example, if your custom object name is MyCustomObject, then its API name will be MyCustomObject__c and share object will be MyCustomObject__Share.

Consider a scenario where records should be shared based on continent field and those records should be shared with people of specific group or role. You can simple create sharing rules for each continent and share according to business requirement.
