Following your old discussions concerning this topic, I managed to install the SkyShellExSetup utility.

I just wonder what will happen in the other/far computers which I sync via SkyDrive? How do I restore the synced folder in the far computers that will be created out of the SkyDrive's 'file system' (using the directory junction approach)?

Awesome Hovesep A! You are the best.From a brief look at the listed applications, none of them support remote file hosting (web server?) capability similarly to SkyDrive. Am I right? This requires that the syncing process can be executed whenever all computers are online, right?Dudi

well if you want to sync pc to pc then yes both of them should be ON and working also online. perhaps if you can have one as ftp server and the other as client offline sync can be done? but as always pc should be ON on both side.

Thanks Hovsep A.I guess this is impossible. I wonder if you know about any alternative free web server / Sync Server / Folder Sync application that may do the job?Dudi
