I have been using FolderShare for several months, and it has done an excellent job keeping specific folders synced across my PC’s and Mac.  It’s seamless, and the sync is almost instantaneous. 

I read the news recently on the Windows Experience Blog about how FolderShare is being phased out.  Taking its place will be Windows Live Sync, which appears to offer the same functionality but with some added features.

Here are some highlighted features:

• More folders and files: Sync up to 20 folders with 20,000 files each
• Integration with Windows Live ID
• Integration with the Recycle Bin - no more separate Trash folder to fiddle with
• New client versions for both Windows and Mac
• Unicode support (sync files in other languages)

Windows Live Sync is slated to start sometime in December, and I will anxiously be keeping my eyes out for this.
