As unfounded as what I will state appears, I feel that many groups in Live are waiting for the Skydrive API to freeze so they can offload and unify some storage to it.

Foldershare is one, Messenger shared folders is the other.

Remember that they've had to convert PHP code to asp.net code

Given the Foldershare update more closely relates to SkyDrive, there is obviously a lot of work going on under the hood, of which these are just small pieces.

Lol, foaf is right. All in all, it's redundant to have separate services that all pretty much do the same thing. There uses could be better put together by making one super service instead of having to deal with many.

It's basically upload a file, allow it to be accessible on any computer, allow it to be shared amongst people or other PC's, and other can edit or download it if wanted.

Shouldn't there be some kind of integration between Foldershare, Skydrive and Office Live Workspaces? They

seem like similar products, all with their own niche. But the premise would be

> I want to share a folder on my PC with people and my other PCs.

> The data could be synced to the cloud.

> With my permission other can work on it.

I've been following the progress of FolderShare for a long time now. The question is 'what progress' exactly? Whatever development is being done with FolderShare, they need to step up a gear. Sooo... slooooow....

Not much of an update... I'd expect them to at least switch to Windows Live ID...

And the Wave 2-look isn't complete either, the jewel menu is missing.
