Syncing.net Allows Syncing of Files Between Multiple PC’s
Written by Alan Monday, 9 January 2012 06:00
These days every home has multiple computers and the need to share files in a way that previously was the domain of business users. All operating systems – Windows, Mac, and Linux – come with built-in sharing options. They aren’t all that difficult to set-up and they work pretty well, but they aren’t always the best solution for every user. Thankfully there are other solutions, and even free ones, that you can use.
One such syncing solution is Syncing.net. They are a Microsoft “Gold Certified” partner, which means they “provide you with the highest levels of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and hands-on skills”. At least, that’s what Microsoft says.
Once you have downloaded and installed the app, you can fire it up for the first time. You will first be asked if you already have an account. If you do then enter your user name (email) and password.
If you don’t already have an account you will prompted to create one. Enter your name, email address, and password and click Next. You will need to use the same account for all of your computers. You are limited to 5 computers.
If you’re account registration is successful you will receive a confirmation message. The message will open a browser window to Syncing.net. There isn’t actually anything to do here, so you can close the window and proceed with setting up the files and folder you want to sync.
Now choose a folder that you want to sync. You can choose a folder, choose the location, or create a new folder. This is the folder you will use for all of your syncing. All files and sub-folders within it will be synced as well. Choose your option and click Next.
The files and folders will appear in the main interface of the application. From there you can view the details of files and folders and set individual sharing permissions on them. Click Next to begin syncing files.
Now you can begin syncing files and folders in real time. Other recipients, who you can grant access to, will receive an email whenever a file or folder is added to the Sync Folder. Syncing.net is a free service that you can install by visiting the Syncing.net website. There is a 3 GB limit per month. Now there’s no excuse not keep all of your files in sync on every computer.
