| | 10000 Files Will this limitation be upped? With what I think is a modest music library on my media center (about 250 albums) and because of all the art work that media center puts on it I'm over the 10000 limit. Would really like to see this at least doubled if not more. |

So if you divide your collection into groups of 10,000 you can synchronise up to 100,000 files which seems way more than your need for just double 10,000. You can even use multiple email addresses if the 100,000 limit ever causes you a practical issue, but that becomes messier, say using multiple Windows user names each having different FS installations.

The unfortunate reality is that FolderShare isn't as useful as it could be for those who are stuck with the 10,000 file limit. I'm VERY thankful they didn't revert my account when the buy-out happened... Jason Dunn www.digitalmediathoughts.com |

Is there a product out there like Foldershare that doesn't have these restrictions? |

FolderShare sat on ice for a while, completely unchanged, and it's only fairly recently that things have started to change - just not in ways that we can see yet.

| | Re: 10000 Files A program I use that is offered for free is SyncBack... I think it allows you to synchronize an unlimited amount of files, as well as any number of profiles to do that. The downside is that it's a semi-manual/semi-automatic program: that is, you can run profiles whenever you want, and/or schedule times where the profile will run. This also allows you to synchronize FTP servers and over the local network. It is fairly customizable though compared with Foldershare. You can filter out folders and/or files.. (ie, synchronizing the My Music folder, you can set it up so that only *.mp3, *.wma, *.aac, etc files are transferred to another folder). "Jason Dunn" wrote: Quote: Quote: > > Exactly.
