BeInSync
BeInSync securely and seamlessly keeps your files
in sync and backed up across your computers, making sure your data
is available to you anytime, anywhere. Additionally, BeInSync lets
you easily share any size file with colleagues, partners, family,
and friends.
This slick file-synchronization utility gives you remote access to
e-mail messages, Web favorites, and other files. It keeps the
files on secure online servers, so you can work with them from
anywhere using your Web browser. Unfortunately, a lack of
in-program help and an interface too simple for its own good keep
BeInSync from earning a top rating.
Installation and setup are fairly straightforward. A wizard helps
create "shares" for private or group use. Your private shares can
include messages and contacts from Outlook or Favorites from IE,
though unfortunately you'll get no support for alternative e-mail
clients or browsers. You create group shares in four simple steps:
select the directory or files you want to share, add e-mail
addresses, write a note, and click Send. From there, adding people
to group shares is simple, though removing them is not. In fact,
the whole interface is a mixed bag. The View, Settings, and Status
buttons on top do most of the work, but finding our way around
wasn't as easy as we expected. The online-only help has good
information, but it's also difficult to navigate and is not
searchable. Nevertheless, as long as you're comfortable with
sharing your information via BeInSync's secure servers, it's a
very effective way to sync data across multiple computers or share
files with friends and colleagues.
