The problem is that I on one hand is concerned about security and on the
other I like ease of access. Using foldershare I can sync my files and access
my computer remotely, But do I really like the idéa of that easy access to my
computer? the one I work with? But the pro with this is that storage space is
unlimited, just add another drive....
On the other hand, SkyDrive. Hmm I can put less important filer there for
easy access from anywhere, if I'm concerned about security. Or if I trust
SkyDrive to be as secure as my own computer, I can put whatever there, BUT
space is limited to 5GB.
Office Live seems to be a wonderful place to store documents. online viewing
without Office installed!, Versioning, lists and reminders, so for documents
this is super. But not for other filetypes, such as zip files, pictures
executables and such.
Homeserver has secure access from anywhere, no fishy service that connect
and sync stuff. limitless storage and if you throw in a WSS 3.0 site on it,
maybe not supported, but possible, I have the best media sharing, file
sharing with alerts and versioning, and home backup solution there is... or
do I?
I might not really have understood foldersharing, but I can explain how I
have perceved it and you might correct me:
Foldersharing let you sync files between computers, but are they stored
somewhere else too? doesn't this solution require at least that 2 computers
that you sync are on at the same time? if not, where does the files go
inbetween? I personally preferr to lug around my laptop instead of syncing
several computers in this way, so maybe foldersharing isn't for me? Can
someone who like it ALOT explain the greatness of this solution to me?
