Family Shared Folder access.

Despite that Robert brought to my attention that he could not see the files added... I know the system works.

I understand that are some of you that want access to it - please text/email me the email address you want me to add ... you'll receive an automatic email with simple instruction on how to install the program and log in into sync.live.com.

So text/email me with your email address that you want to log-on (don't post it publicly on websites - like this one - unless you want spam). It will work with any email address (even though it's a Microsoft service). It will be easier to log in if it's a Microsoft email though (hotmail, msn, live.com etc).

And for those who already use it... Sync, unlike Mesh, does not use an online space. The data does not live on a internet location at the same with our computers. If you put data in the folder and nobody else is online, and you shut off/stand-by your laptop, when others log-in, they won't be able to sync your data to their computers.

My main computer is on at all times, acting as a server, but you have to leave your laptop on long enough (Cami), for my computer to get your files, and then be able to give them to others after you shut-off your laptop.

On the sync.live.com website, you can see how many files have been sync-ed. Like this:




Online Wonder10
134 of 296 files  



It's only 134 files, because I can't get to the rest of the files, because their are not available.
