Vista - Newbie: Synching My Documents

I am brand new to FS. I am trying to sync My Documents from PC to LT.
During the outage, I went ahead and manually copied entire folder from PC to
LT ( about 9,600 MB). Today, with outage over, during sync- error message
comes up, something like: Library over 10,000- must close LT My Documents.
When I check My Docs on LT it is close to 11,000. I don't understand this.
I'm thinking there must be a bunch of duplicates in LT. How to resolve this
? Thanks

This happened to me once when I tried to synch my music library. What
happened was that the files were duplicated with a added tag... i.e.
newdoc.doc is dupliacated as newdox-brad on LT. For me, I had to use desktop
search software to search files by the tag and manually remove them.

I don't know the best way to solve this problem, other than just making
fresh copies of your files from your desktop and re-copying them onto your
laptop and restarting foldershare. Alternatively, you could just let FS do
the copying for you, depending on the size of the files.

Stick with it though... good software at the right price.

Before Microsoft bought out Foldershare, there were two types of accounts you
could have. The free account allowed you to have containing anywhere up to
10,000 files within a library; paid accounts allowed for an unlimited amount
of files within a library. It seems like that is still in place, based on
your question; I don't have a library with that many files, so I can't
confirm this, however, I did have a paid account way back when, just so I
could support the service.

Also, I forgot to mention this... it certainly is possible that there are
duplicate files within the My Documents folder... as far as I know,
Foldershare has no ability to check for this, so the only possible way that
you could do this is to open up a search window on your computer and search
the "My Documents" folder using the asterisk; once done, click on either the
file type column header at the top or the file name column to sort the
results; you'll also want to look at the last modified date of any possible
duplicate files. If you find any duplicates based on file type or name, you'd
have to delete them yourself.

Thanks, VTS--I deleted My Docs on LT and started to let FS copy over as you
suggested, but this is happening at the rate of about 60-80 kb/s. So will
take days to transfer almost 10 GB ! How to "stop" synching and kill the
command ? Then I think I'll just copy over through the router.
