Vista - Doesn't synchronize

I recognized, that I'm online in Foldershare but files are still not coming
through. I have no firewall installed! So I have to make a right click on
foldershare and sign out and sign in again. Only then the files are coming
through. Why is this like that?

Further: If Foldershare crashes due to a conflict, for example, if two users
are working the same time on a document, foldershare forces to be closed and
can not be restarted. I had to install it all new in order to get access to
my documents. Is there any solution for it?

Thanks

Regarding the first issue - have you tried waiting a bit longer to make sure
it synchronizes eventually?

As to the second issue - currently the way FolderShare handles some specific
sync errors / conflicts is that it asks you to manually resolve the situation
and quits. Could you elaborate a bit more on the exact behavior you are
seeing? Uninstall shouldn't make any difference in this case.

Thanks,
Christoph

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was waiting for several hours and thought
first, that it has again something to do with the naming of the files, as
there are (funny enough) no Umlauts, like öäü etc. allowed. But this was not
the case here. Only when I "changed user" and logged in again, the files came
through.

Concerning the second issue: Another collaborator opened the same document I
was working with and Foldershare sent me immediately a note, whether I want
to save my changes or not. Whatever I clicked on, Foldershare closed
completely together with the Foldershare sign in the sidebar. There was no
way to reactivate it, as it is not in the program folder. So I had to
reinstall it new from the Foldershare website and to log in again.

Hope, this is more clear now.

Cheers

Hi Chris,

There is a shortcut to FolderShare under:

All Programs -> Windows Live -> Windows Live FolderShare Beta

We'll investigate the first issue that you mentioned.

Thanks,
Christoph

program on one computer that's accessing the file for instance) then you
just re-start FolderShare. It creates a program menu item....re-installing
it is certainly not necessary. :-)
