We all know the feeling don’t we….. you’ve typed up that important documentation \/ cv \/ proposal over the weekend on you home PC, and got to work for the presentation on the Monday morning – and realised that you’ve not e-mailed it to yourself, or brought it on your pen-drive, or it was too big for your mailserver so it was rejected… but you never saw the NDR. That sinking feeling – that feeling of panic….. well no more!!<\/p>\n

Foldershare<\/tag><\/a> (recently bought by Microsoft<\/tag><\/a>) is a superb piece of software that gives you a number of options for getting hold of your files….<\/p>\n

As Reeves Little<\/tag><\/a> puts it:<\/p>\n

FolderShare is perfect for individuals. FolderShare offers both free and for-pay versions of their service. The free version of the service limits the number of files and sub-folders which can be shared as well as the speed of the file sync. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been able to stick to just using the free service by keeping a sub-folder in my documents folder where I put the items I want to share (typically my current work) and moving them out when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m done.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Yep, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve said it before and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll say it again\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m cheap.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can syncronize<\/tag> your files (up to 2Gb per file) between machines, in a nice (read quick), secure, encrypted<\/tag> manner – it’s 30 seconds to install and configure it. Install the client, create a username and password and then select the directories you want to sync. Foldershare calls each of these a library<\/tag> – and each library can contain up to 10,000 files! You can then invite other foldershare users to your libraries, or just install the client on other machines – et voila! your files are available to you.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, once you have the client installed on a PC<\/tag> – you can sign-in to the website from any web browser, and look at the contents of your PC(s) – any drive or folder – regardless of wether or not it forms part of a library.<\/p>\n

So, as you can see – the days of “….. Oh Shit! I left the (very important) document at home!” panic are over….. and the very best bit…..the price:<\/p>\n

FREE FREE FREE<\/tag>!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

try it – you might like it, Omar<\/tag> does<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

I should probably point out that I value Omar’s opinion more than some – as he and his team gave me a Kahuna Invite<\/tag><\/a>!! So I’m a little<\/strong> biased<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

One final little note – the Mac<\/tag> version is available again<\/a> now I see – so rejoice ye Zealots!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
