| | Need to be logged-in on all machines to sync? I was just puzzling why some files I worked on at work were not synced on my home machines... I went to the foldershare page, and noticed that my work machine was "off-line". In fact it was turned on, but I had logged-off before leaving tonight. So I used VNC to access it, log-on and then rechecked the foldershare page - now it was shown as on-line, and the files then synced. So - I logged-off via VNC, and the machine showed as being off-line again... Is this the way it should be? I hope not, because I don't want to have to be logged-on on all my 4 machines for syncing to take place - I want to turn off my 3 home machines when I leave each morning, and log-off from the work machine (but leave it running) when I leave in the evening.

| | RE: Need to be logged-in on all machines to sync? Derek: Unfortunately, you do have to have the machines on, logged in,the application running and logged in to Foldershare for the syncing to happen. Now, you can lock the computer using your screen saver or just lock the computer, but it does need to be "logged on" Foldershare launches in the user's RUN in the registry. It's not a system service. Would that be nice. But after they broke was was working, and there is no response (I think they ran away after breaking it), that feature might be a dream for some distant future. Hope this helps.

| | RE: Need to be logged-in on all machines to sync? Actively? Then why weren't you all on the boards this past weekend and why don't we have any answers. Wouldn't the time right after a major release be time for some over time. Again your actions are saying something far different from your words "We love/use this product as much as you do." If that were the case you guys would be all over the board with constructive words and advise. Why not repost the old version for those having trouble with the new one until things get sorted out? Why are there no warnings on the Download page "Known Bugs"? Where are the regular status reports you all promised when we had a very large outage several months back. How soon you all forget.

| | RE: Need to be logged-in on all machines to sync? Now that I realize that this is the way things are, my workaround is that I have created a shortcut on my desktop to: %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation which will lock the screen without having to actually log-out each evening when I leave the office. That way I know that anything I do at home will be synced. BUT, I would still like to see FolderShare installed a s a service... pretty-please... Derek |

| | RE: Need to be logged-in on all machines to sync? Today we released an updated client and a serious of fixes for the service/website to address the feedback we have gotten in the newsgroup/blog. I understand that everyone wants these ASAP, but it takes time to investigate and release quality updates. -- Jeremy Epling Lead Program Manager - Windows Live FolderShare "LouisJJames" wrote: Quote: > Drew!
