FolderShare

I was showed (Yes Showed) something earlier tonight that was worth the trying, even though it was managed from Microsoft *makes icky face* …. FolderShare… allowing you to sync folders together across different computers. Even use it on different internet connections if you are signed in on the same account on the foldershare program.

It’s perfect for people who get fed up with all that networking crap. Samba, regular windows networking, linux networking, etc. Although the advantages of this is, You can take Mapping Hard Drives to a new level. I mean.. Hell, I could map my friends drive even if he is all the way around the world – Using combined techniques.

There’s many others like it. iFolder, PowerFolder.. and a few others that I’m forgetting right now. iFolder works on Linux by the way. FolderShare can work on Linux with the help of a Virtual XP/Vista that is sharing it virtually. Thus mapping the drive, If that’s what you want to do.

Check out the picture.

Very Interesting huh?

I use it for lots of things now. Even though I had a much more complex setup before, this makes things “on the fly” literally “on the fly.”

There is some needed info though. FolderShare does support UPNP. Meaning, it tells your router what to do or what ports to open. So if you plan on downloading from a remote computer, make sure the ports are open on it that it needs. Keep in mind, you can find these port listings in the settings of FolderShare.

If you don’t want UpnP just turn it off I guess?

Oh, and you can’t share more than 2GB Files. Well.. I think you can, but you can’t download them.

However, I guess, If you are using this on a LAN, ports may not be an issue.
