    There is nothing better than FolderShare

    To Anton or other MS folks. Just in case nobody has said it, there is no
    better piece of software than FolderShare. It truly is the best piece of
    software my company uses. Even if I had to pay for it, it would still be an
    awesome tool for us.

    I'm being forced to use SharePoint, which is slow. SP is good for project
    related stuff, but for sharing bulk data, FS is king.

    Every technology professional I know uses FS and is disappointed that it
    hasn't progressed since MS purchased it. The 2 biggest enhancements I'd like
    to see:

    1. Monitor a network folder, specifically a NAS drive.
    2. Sub-folder permissioning. I have to chop up my data to fit into FS
    master folder model.

    I've complained in here but I also agree. This is the best at what it does.
    Not perfect but the best availalble. Now if we could get it to sync with
    sky drive and give us an option to pay for an unlimited file/mb then it
    would only be imperfect when it goes down for the momentary times it does.

    Good job and thanks

    Indeed - FolderShare is a transformative technology for anyone that uses it.
    It's a crying shame that MS has owned something for years that Google has no
    answer for, yet it's never been developed or brought to a wide market
    properly. I can only hope that in 2008 that changes!

    My company has messed up the network by installing a new router; we have lost
    FolderShare. What a disaster. We only realised how much we used it and how
    much we depended on it when we lost it. We are now reduced to using memory
    sticks until they have fixed the router.

    I still have it on my home network.

    Thanks Anton keep up the good work.
