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.

Mike
