Thread: Foldershare (Windows Live Sync)-Like Software for Linux/Win/Mac


just throwing out there see if there interest...

cloud computing rage right now, , while nice idea, there problem of when offline , security , costs associated storing files on else's server.

foldershare (and subsequently bought out microsoft , renamed "windows live sync") concept got rid of idea of storing files on server (and paying server space) , allowed synchronize files between different computers , on different operating systems. idea support windows, macintosh, , linux...but expect, once bought out microsoft, idea of supporting linux dropped.

why there no oss version of idea in existence?

yes; know there utilities synchronize files, not intuitive...require lots of complicated setup...or part of commercial packages sell server space...and have limited support major operating systems.

question: working on or software package setup following...

1. replicate ease of use of foldershare (aka windows live sync).
2. gui setup (with option command-line, cfg configuration)
3. runs on popular os (windows, macintosh osx, linux, , possibly others)
4. support syncing directories/folders between groups of people or 1 person across multiple computers.
5. free of charge use

dropbox too. it's win, mac, , linux.
