The 160th most popular file sharer on Windows

Share
Windows Live FolderShare (previously FolderShare) is a free-to-use application by Microsoft that is designed to allow files and folders between two or more computers be in sync with each other on Windows (XP and later) and Mac OS X based computers, similar to Sharing folders on Windows Live Messenger. Microsoft bought FolderShare from ByteTaxi Inc. on November 3, 2005, and made it a part of their Windows Live range of services.

    Easy to use and setup, great when I'm out of the office and forget :) to copy files...

    Great program that eliminates the annoyance of uploading and downloading files just to transfer them from one computer to another.

    I really like this program. It's great for sharing files with clietns, etc. I had a little trouble figuring out how to updates firewall settings.

    can't work with cyrillic folder & file names, so unusefil for me now.

    Overall:

    This is great. But the one thing that puts me off is, I can't download a private file from the web interface. Filesharer has to be installed to access the private files, which means I can't access my files anywhere, unlike dropbox.

    I cannot imagine life without this program, It allows me to sync all of my important data almost instantly.

    Most easy FTP-like thing, without the hassle of setting up FTP, that you will every come across. Great for getting files from your PC using simply a browser.

    Can't live without it, especially with 2 PCs. The 10000 file limitation is no problem for me.

    Great for syncing files between my desktop and laptop, as well as my partner for projects.

  • DoctorFeelGood expert

    No comments as my work PC and work laptop are unable to find the internet through our corporate firewall thus killing my intended usage of this program ! FERT!

    Overall:

    Don't use it to sync music between Macs and PCs, if your not careful with the preferences it will actually delete your files, and then your screwed without any tunes.

    Am running Foldershare on both OSX and Windows. Its my main sync tool. I'd pay for the service...and especially to get more capacity. The limitation to 10 libraries of less than 10,000 files in each is a huge limitation. Have been running both clients for a couple of years now and highly recommended.
