FolderShare update

FSFolderShare is one of those utilities I couldn't live without!

The FolderShare team have started blogging and have kicked things off by announcing a new version, Windows Live FolderShare, with "better setup, a better system tray menu, and better performance on Windows Vista."

www.foldershare.com has also been updated to makes managing FolderShare libraries and computers easier.

(And of course, it's still free, and available for Mac OSX too.)

SkyDrive is a 5Gb space in the cloud for you to save files.

FolderShare is a peer to peer application that let's you synch folders across multiple machines. The files are never on any "server".

I have several folders set up, so if I save a file, say a PDF, on one machine it is available on all my other machines too.

Give it a try, it's very good. I also use OSX for interop demos and it's handy being able to use it with the Mac Pro too.
