Vista - Why stick with Foldershare?

Why stick with Foldershare?

I've been using Foldershare for the past year or so, and have found it
fantastic; it has done everything I've needed and made my working much more
efficient. I've just, however, received a better for Live Mesh, for which
there seems to be great potential.

I'm wondering what reason there is, if any, for me to stick with
Foldershare. I don't mean this to be negative - as I say, Foldershare has
worked very well for me (the only additional feature I want is
synchronization with my Home Server, which neither Foldershare nor Live Mesh
provide right now). I'm just wondering if there is any way in which
Foldershare's synch is better than Live Mesh's - if there is anything I get
from Foldershare which I wouldn't get from Live Mesh.

RE: Why stick with Foldershare?

I think you need to try it out and see for yourself.

I am currently playing with Foldershare, Mesh and Groove (all on the same
machines) and each has it's own high (and low) points.

Right now, for just keeping folders (and thus data) in sync between various
machines, Foldershare is simple, lightweight and just works. Groove is just
too heavy (as I don't need all the sharepoint stuff). Mesh looks promising
especially as it allow you to store data "in the cloud" as well as across
multiple machines however I can see the 5GB limits getting used up very
quickly.

But Foldershare and Mesh are free to try so try for yourself and post back
your thoughts.
