Alternatives

Does anyone have any good alternatives? BeInSynch seems to work poorly, by
reports of other correspondents. FolderShare's future availability is
indeterminate.

....rather like looking for an effective, predictable, easily deployable
alternative to Windows...

Also, regarding "Free," FolderShare is no more free than is Google: both
these "Free" offerings support the core businesses of their manufacturer, and
are development platforms for future revenue producing products and services.

I disagree. I think FolderShare was bought a couple of years ago because
someone thought it COULD become one of those "free but not really free"
services you're talking about...but then it was left untouched for nearly
two years. It was never really promoted as a Live service, no attention was
given to it, and it clearly wasn't incorporated into any sort of core
business.

I really *want* FolderShare to become one of those "free but not really
free" services you're talking about because it will mean that FolderShare is
considered important in the eyes of a VP somewhere and will actually get the
resources and development that it needs. :-)

Re: Alternatives

I would like to second the hope that more comes of it. For home and small
scale users this cross domain technology is just what is needed. You have
your data, safely replicated in multiple places easily.
