I think it is not like RS ?

RS equivlent is Skydrive

Foldershare is something like access file from another computer provided the PC is connected to internet I think ?

Like we are not sharing files in a server, but in our PC itself, but can access from another PC through internet.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I just tried and seems it is great

I do not know, may be need to make it more secure

Anyway teh idea is really good

Update

Hmm I can access whole computer and I can't see any settings to prevent it !!

Any others tried yet ? ?

Update again

OK, download manager supported, speed not bad too.

Resume not supported

I think this is like P2P, anyway seems to be very good, not sure about security issues if any ...

Hmmm

No other beta-tester like me ? lol

Waiting for your comments ...

Yep ur right
Its probably like G-Drive to share or store ur files
And access it later from internet
We'll idea looks gr8 if this has got public sharing feature another way to increase piracy :D)

@asnvin

You have to download client first, then sign up and login using that.

Then use the same login in browser, you will be able to login.
