    Can FS sync files if a library's owner is down?

    I share a library with two other users. I'll call them "User A" and "User
    B". They have full update permissions to the library so they can make adds
    and changes, etc.

    If my computer is shut down, and "User A" puts a new file into his shared
    folder, will Foldershare go ahead and sync that file with "User B"? Or does
    it have to wait until my computer is back up again?



    Just wondering if FS has enough "smarts" to synch between two client
    machines when the host machine is temporarily unavailable. Then synch to the
    host when it's back up.

    Yes. If anyone has been permitted to add, change or delete files then
    those changes will be propagated to any other connected member of that
    library regardless of whether the Owner of the library is online. And
    those changes will later be caused to the Owner's own copies when he goes
    online at the same time as any other member, whether it is the same one
    who caused the changes or one who was synced with those changes.
