Dear FolderShare friends,

We want to let you know what's next for FolderShare, and to make you aware
of some important upcoming changes.

In December, we will release a new product called Windows Live Sync. You can
think of it as FolderShare 2.0. It's going to look familiar and offer the
same great features, plus:

- More folders and files - sync up to 20 folders with 20,000 files each.
- Integration with Windows Live ID - no more extra sign-in stuff to
remember.
- Integration with the Recyle Bin - no more separate Trash folder to fiddle
with.
- New client versions for both Windows and Mac.
- Unicode support - sync files in other languages.

A huge part of Sync's success story depends on FolderShare users like you.
When Sync releases, FolderShare goes into retirement. That means your
FolderShare software will stop working and will ask you to upgrade to Sync.
Once you do, Sync will automatically rebuild your personal folders. We
expect a lot of new users when Sync is released, so if you can't sign in
right away, please give it a little time.

Here's the part you need to pay attention to: Sync will not be able to
rebuild your shared libraries. If you have a lot of shared libraries, you
should hop over to the FolderShare website while it's still available and
copy all that information. You'll need it to rebuild your shared libraries
in Sync.

You should also note that the Professional option is being retired with the
FolderShare name. Sync has a single offer, which provides free
synchronization for up to 20 libraries and 20,000 files. We'll be working to
raise those numbers as our service grows.

Thanks for being a FolderShare user! We're excited about delivering an even
better file-synchronization experience to customers like you. We hope you'll
come along as we move forward with Windows Live Sync.

Sincerely,

The Windows Live Sync (formerly FolderShare) team
