FolderShare.com is an AWESOME site. You can sync your computers without any effort on your part. Just while you're doing whatever it is that you do, it's in the background syncing whatever folders you've chosen to sync, on whatever computers you wish to sync. Right now I have a "sync" folder where I put everything I want available no matter what computer I have and I always have the most updated version. It updates four computers so if I'm out of the office I have my Samsung Q1 available, or my laptop if I'm at home, my server if my laptop's broken, or my work computer, say if I worked at home I just throw the updated files in the sync folder and they're on my work computer almost immediately so if someone needs them, there's no need to hassle with email and file size restrictions. It's so cool! You can even invite others to have access to your "library" with just a click. It's by ByteTaxi, Inc. but was acquired by Microsoft so it works fabulously on Windows, even Vista (as well as Mac OSX)! Check it out! The only problem I've come across is when my computer goes on standby and it shuts down the internet connection. Then no syncy. That's just a setting change but I haven't gotten around to it yet. You can also retrieve files from any of your linked devices even if you aren't syncing them. You just go to the website and search your computer files. Syncing doesn't work on network drives but you can search the computer to retrieve individual files on network drives. Even if you've mapped the drive (i.e. \\mycomputer accessible as the F:\ drive) you can't sync it but at least you can retrieve individual files if you need them. No special equipment needed, just a continuous internet connection (dial-up wouldn't be suitable for syncing since it's so unreliable and you usually sign of when you're not using it). Try it, it's Free!
