Re: How to make FolderShare work when nobody is logged in?

I am curious if there is further update on how successful and reliable the
idea of running as service worked out.

Also related issue I have placed my foldershare libraries on an external
drive to my laptop. It looses libraries when you unplug and replug or if
there is a power outage. Is there anyway to automate the process of
foldershare looking for and finding its old library locations without having
to restablish them manually.
