Vista - Foldershare vs. skydrive

07-16-2008

Hello,
I was reading about what skydrive and foldershare offers but I really don't
see that much difference between the two products. Is there any difference
and if so what?
Thank you

Hi Jason,
What are the transfer speed differences?
for example I am transferring FolderShare at about 100 kB/s.

My system is capable of twice that speed (1800 kbs. One time I had a set of
FolderShare files transfer at 180 kB/s.

Can you explain maximum speeds that are attainable?

Does FolderShare send only the file diffs (deltas) or the whole file?
