Syncing files between computers with FolderShare
Stew | Jul 7 2006
For those of you on Windows or MacOS who have not yet discovered it, Microsoft offers a free service called FolderShare that allows for automatic file syncronization between multiple computers or remote access to your computer's files via the website. No files are actually stored on the website, but your computer must be up and running to access it remotely. I'm currently using the sync feature between my home and work computers. I've found it particularly useful in syncing my EverNote databases (no more having to keep them on a USB key). Also, I now have access to all of my project support materials from work. I'm still experimenting, but I'll report back with my findings. Now if only a Linux version was available too... 5 Comments

I have been using FolderShare...Submitted by Mekkaniak on July 16, 2006 - 1:53pm.
I have been using FolderShare for over a year, and it is perfect for making sure that your work and home computer is synchronized. Fully automatic. Now I am trying Subversion to keep my files synchronized. The only negative thing is that it is not automatic. The positive is that I get an extra backup on my Subversion server (I use Dreamhost). I have tried using a USB key, but I did tend to forget it. » POSTED IN:
