Foldershare/Dropbox questions
« on: March 12, 2008, 10:31:39 AM »
I wanted to try Foldershare but first I want to ask: if I'm going to install it on 2 PCs in my home, do I need 2 accounts (1 for each PC) or do I use the same account on the second PC as I use on the first?

Secondly, I saw this website yesterday on Digg and it looks awesome: http://www.getdropbox.com/

Someone in the comments wrote that it's just like Foldershare. To those who use or have used Foldershare: does it look like Dropbox will be exactly like Foldershare? Should I wait for Dropbox to be released to sync files across PCs? Which one looks like it's better? I know Dropbox isn't out yet but the video outlines a lot of the features. What about security? I guess I would trust Microsoft more with their program just syncing files across computers over a random startup hosting files on the internets.

I hadn't seen that Dropbox before, but it does look awesome. I don't think that you really have to hold out for it because it would be easy to switch to it even if you did start using Foldershare.

With Foldershare you create just one account for every computer that you want to setup on the account. I've found it to be pretty intuitive and the new interface is really nice. I would definitely give it a whirl because I didn't see any information as to when Dropbox would be released. Not only that, but I think Dropbox is going to have some size limitations since it actually stores file changes. So your "dropbox" probably won't allow for unlimited transfers.

Hey Ryan, I sent you an invite to Dropbox.

Actually it is quite different from Foldershare. You can access your files in a web interface and your computers must not be on at the same time.

Ah, and you have a 5 GB limit on the Beta account.
