Windows Live Sync

Synchronize one or various folders between various computers.

Windows Live Sync, that used to be known as FolderShare, is a small application that allows us to maintain one or various folders synchronized between various computers, so that we can access their contents from any of them be means of our Internet Windows Live account.

  The program is also ideal to share files with friends, family and work mates.

  To be able to synchronize a folder between various computers we will have to have Windows Live Sync installed on both of them with the corresponding permissions.

  It works in the background, detecting when you are online and when files from the synchronized folder are eliminated, modified or added, updating its status with that of the rest of computers that form part of our synchronized network.

  Windows Live Sync also serves to synchronize our photographs and videos in Windows Live and keeping them updated on various computers.

  To keep our files secure, it encrypts all the synchronized files by means of the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm and SSL, an encryption format that helps to maintain information anonymous and secure while traveling over Internet. What's more, it authenticates the files by means of the RSA standard, a standard that is used by many companies for their internal communications.
