    I would use it only its a trial and you have to pay for full service. ALthough in time it could grow into more. Read on...
    Microsoft Corp. today announced it has acquired FolderShareTM, a leading service in the emerging space of file synchronization and remote access technology that helps customers access information across multiple devices. FolderShare customers will continue to be able to enjoy the service at http://www.foldershare.com. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
    Launched in 2002 and owned and operated by Austin, Texas-based ByteTaxi Inc., the award-winning FolderShare service saves customers the hassle of sending large files via e-mail, burning them to CDs or DVDs and mailing them, or uploading them to a Web site. Instead, it allows customers to sync important information, making it well suited for personal or small-business use. The FolderShare service also enables private, remote access to customers' own files from any Web browser

    It sounds good, but anything supported by microsoft is hardly going to allow downloads of Pirate Movies or MP3's is it?? WHo has say over whats to be shared and who monitors it??

    Kinda an old thread but just to say that Foldershare is now a free service and is based upon the new Windows Live app.

    I created an account and downloaded and installed the agent on 2 computers, home and work. Now each time I update a file (edit/save) in a particular directory it updates automaticaly at home. Both machines are natted but the software figures out that bit pretty well.
