    Foldershare vs. skydrive

    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?
