Foldershare and MS vs Sony

calendar Posted on November 13, 2005   comments 2 Comments

Foldershare was recently purchased by Microsoft and is now free of charge. What is it? From their site:

How can I use it?

  • Synchronize all your devices - Retrieve work files at home or access photos at work. With your devices in sync, you no longer have to be frustrated that your information is on another computer.
  • Share files, photos, and home videos with your peers - Select the content you want to share, invite members, and they will be able to access the shared files directly from their device.
  • Access your computer or device remotely - FolderShare mobile access allows you to access your computer from any web browser.

Any restrictions? We’ll let you decide…

  • Share files up to 2 GB in size
  • Unlimited file space - Store as many files as you wish; you are only limited by the storage capacity of your device
  • Unlimited file transfers - no limits on quantity or size of files transferred
  • Any file type - files are synced and transferred in their original format

Client appears to be windows and Mac only, but it really does look rather intriguing. The site itself is PHP which I guess we should find amusing…

Speaking of microsoft, it would appear that they are going to consider the Sony rootkit as malware and add it to their Antispyware/Defender product,

    Something else I just noticed that Foldershare can offer: Complete access to all of your files on whatever machine is running the client.
    Suddenly password strength becomes a LOT more interesting…
