| | Network Drives Guys I had an old version of Foldershare on my PC... I have been very happy with it... I found the new version and installed it and found that it limits my use of folder share. So I have a PC at home that has a number of network drives(2). On the old version I could access these remotely from wherever I was. Once I installed the new version, now the network drives are not accessible, they dont even show up on the remote computer that had them attached. Has this service been taken away or is there a setting I have missed? |

| | Re: Network Drives Hi, The new version of FolderShare does not support remote access or synching to mapped/network drives. We can’t provide a timeline, but this is a feature that we’re looking into. Thanks for your interest in FolderShare!

| | Re: Network Drives Hi Peter, From the FolderShare website (https://www.foldershare.com/clientdownload.aspx) you can only download the latest version of FolderShare. By using the most recent version you’ll have access to the newest features, have an overall improved experience and we’ll be able to provide you better support for it. Again, we’re investigating adding remote access and synching to network drives in future releases. Thanks for your continued interest!

| | Re: Network Drives Hi Francisco Unfortunately this was the feature and reason I used foldershare.. Its now gone. So for me there is NO improved experience... to the point I cannot us it as I have network drives where all my data is, I do not need syncing only access and downloading form it... This version is a MASSIVE step backwards and I am not able to use it until this is resolved.. I was hoping that I could use the older version where I was very satisfied but you will not allow it.... this is a very bad step and you dont even have a timeline... Sorry to be blunt but really want you to understand that you have removed features as an improvement. If I understood this I would have never have upgraded....
