Windows FolderShare is Dead

Well actually the title should read FolderShare is DEAD long live Windows Live Sync.

I suppose it had to happen one day.

Foldershare has been a great product and its now getting very difficult to understand where it was going to sit within the Windows Live arena…but here is our answer.

  • More folders and files—sync up to 20 folders with 20,000 files each.
  • Integration with Windows Live ID—no more extra sign-in stuff to remember.
  • Integration with the Recycle Bin—no more separate Trash folder to fiddle with.
  • Unicode support—sync files in other languages

The only problem being is that the whole FolderShare system will not be migrated over to the new Windows Live Sync. So all of your libraries will have to migrated by hand.

When is all this going to happen in December
