Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 keeps BeInSync from earning a top rating.
Installation and setup are 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 backup or sync data across multiple computers and share files with friends and colleagues.

Version: BeInSync 3.2.39
"Imposible to understand how to procceed."
Cons: There is no way to understand what to do to include the second PC I want to incorporate to access my files in home from my PC in the office.

Version: BeInSync 3.2.39
"Slick start up, not what I wanted."
Pros: This is another product like free drive, xdrive and many others. This edition offers 1GB of online storage that you can share with a few people. The Pro edition is $60 a year, and gives you 5 GB of storage.
Cons: Wish the product description was more complete. Can only back up or sync to their server. Too expensive for online backup.

Version: BeInSync 3.2.39
Pros: Once set up - it's interface gives four options - it becomes clear from there what the user's intentions can be in that moment.
Cons: I was looking purely for an FTP software - I'm sure this fulfills the need, but still left to guess where to go for it at startup where I'd need to go to get rolling right away. I didn't take the time or generate the patience- instead of going through a learning curve, I uninstalled it and am off to find something more raw and basic.
