Hello.
I have Windows Live Sync and the problem I have is that whenever two people are editing the same file at the same time, Live Sync creates two new files in the same folder adding the xx@xxx.com at the end of the file’s name. Does this happen with Live Mesh as well? (this was not happening when I used Foldershare in the past).
Is there any feature where just the first person who opens a file can edit it and other people can open it just as “read-only”?
thanks and I really appreciate your help.

interestingly enough, i should add that dropbox has the above mentioned feature.

i think it’s also important to mention that syncplicity does not offer block level syncing. when video editing, i’d rather transfer a few megs rather than few gigs for every change i make. hopefully they implement this soon– it’s the only thing keeping me from using them right now.

Anyone got a spare Dropbox invite? I’d be extremely grateful, and thanks in advance.

Eventually, like Emacs, all these products will learn to read email, browse the web, run a WoW client, and organize your socks. May the product with the prettiest icon win!

I’m going to bet, though, that they’ll develop to support different workflows and appeal to different user bases, and for some people that would make the difference.

BTW I’m using both DropBox and Mozy right now. I don’t want my entire computer backed up in real time, I don’t want my work directory backed up once a night, either.

Syncplicity; you can choose which folders to sync but windows only, other OS support still in development.
Dropbox; has muliple OS, but choose multiple folders option is still in development.
I don’t see much difference in the predicted final product. Each has one big feature still in development. I’m going to wait and see and go with which is best when they come out of beta.

“all these products are discussed under the “folder synchronization” category which is the equivalent of lumping mountain bikes and minivans under “vehicles”.

That’s a good one, and I agree. As usual, I think far to many reviewers lack an important step: use it before you write about it – then they would know better.

Oh, as for symlinks, I still live in Windows-prison. I really don’t know why… somehow got stuck here.
