Vista - Does differential sync work in the updated foldershare???

03-20-2008

I'm not sure I'm using the right word for the type of syncing where it only
needs to send the changed portion of the file so I can sync an 800 MB PST
file relatively quickly.

This was a feature in FolderShare professional (or whatever the paid version
was called) and has continued to work in version 2.5.9 all these years (but
stopped working if you updated to version 2.5.10 -- the last version before
this recent update).

If I update will I still have that feature? Or will I lose it so that it
again takes a very long time to sync an 800 MB file because it has to send
the entire file, even the unchanged parts?

Anyone know?

Unfortunately this feature is not currently supported.

Thanks,
Christoph

I too would love this feature if it worked correctly. My PSTs take a while as
well. But it would seem to me this would be hard to get right.

It's not hard to get this right because FolderShare has had this
functionality since 2005. I've been using it for PSTs for more than two
years. It was in the paid version. When they made it a free beta they took
the functionality out.

But I haven't upgraded versions since 2005 and so I still have this
functionality. And I guess I won't be upgrading because I don't want to lose
it.
