Microsoft Foldershare

When Microsoft bough “foldershare” in November 2005, it looked like they just wanted to take out competition.  But when a major update was released yesterday, I was pleased  to see that foldershare has got the feel of live.  And thank God Microsoft hasn’t blocked foldershare like it has done Skydrive for Pakistan.  Since I have already been desperately looking for a solution to keep my various computers synchronized, in particular my onenote files, foldershare seemed like a godsent. 

People don’t seem too impressed with the new foldershare and there are complaints of it crashing very frequently. However,  I have installed it on my laptop and my home computer, and it seems to be working like a gem.  Foldershare is keeping selective folders in synch across computers, and also letting me browse files on all connected machines through its web based interface.

I’m not sure why people are having trouble with the app.  If it works for you, it’s definitely worth a try.
