Yecch. It all seems like a lot of trouble to me. I guess I should turn in my Geek Card at this point…

I love foldershare. It’s file sync + backup + remote access in one (free) package. I hope MS keeps it for free for long long time, but honestly don’t mind paying some money for the service. One feature I like to be added to foldershare is option to exclude sub-folders. I have tons of files under My Documents folder which I don’t need to share. I created several small sharing rules for each folder under my documents folder to reduce network traffic and save hard drive space, but it’d be much nicer if I can just unselect some sub folders. Also I think foldershare has a limit on the number of max files to be shared, so unselect feature will help there as well.

I use Exchange as well, and am very happy. I’m getting free service (after $10 initial donation) thru denial at xda-developers.com and the service has been excellent. I use Gmail as primary email solution, but forward the mail to my Exchange account for push mail notification on my Sprint Mogul.

I am writing this on a Lenovo X61. One of 4 computers that I use every day. I use a Mirra Sync and Share to keep all devices synced. $500 option, but well worth it.

I have been using MS Groove for file synchronization and love it. It is not free like FolderShare, but if you have it do give it a try!

Thanks, James! I’ve been waiting for you to post on this. Foldershare is my new best friend. (We met once, but didn’t really get to know each other.) I chimed in on this topic which is near and dear to me at http://urltea.com/19n4

Helpful post. I use google email and calendar, but nothing yet for my docs. I’ll look into the windows live solution. How many gigs of data do you have in your doc tree? Mine is about 12gb.
