10,000 files limit - why?

Hi!

I really would like to use foldershare for sharing things like my iPhoto
folder or iTunes folder - but both are larger than 10,000 files.

I know that this limit was defined once when foldershare didn't belong
to MS. It was set so that people could by a "pro" account without this
limit.

But these times are gone. You can't buy this account anymore. So it
would be extremly easy for the team to discard this limit.

Why isn't it done by now? Is foldershore only kept alive until mesh is
gone into the public?

I really would like to know ...

I also really would like to know about alternative solutions that are
doing something like foldershare but without the limitations.

I'm a dropbox user by now and have bought 50 GB. But to share my photos
and music I would need some GB more. And having it all stored online
instead of the direct connection is a really downside.

Does anybody know something for Mac OS that is doing the same? I had no
problem if it would only work in a lan.

I also want to use FolderShare but cannot because of this limitation on # of
files.

I like the interface and I've tried >5 other programs that just don't cut it.

Any one like any alternatives?

I have to agree, I've stopped using foldershare to sync my music because of
10000 file limit and soon I'll have to stop using to sync my photos once I
hit the 10,000 file limit. I'm also concerned that we've heard nothing from
the foldershare team since June
