Stay sychronized with BeInSync

As you probably know I travel a great deal and consequently keeping my laptop "sync-ed" to my desktop is difficult at best. While I use and enjoy my Mirra personal server it's just not the answer for keeping la large number of files always synchronized. Outlook 2003, paired with Exchange 2003, does a great job with email, but what about my FILES? I'm tired of emailing the "latest version" of documents back and forth to myself. Modern communication has made me realize that having TOO MANY copies of a file is just as almost as having none! I believe I may have found an answer. BeInSync, a company based in Tel-Aviv, Israel, recently announced BeInSync 1.0, a software program designed to automatically synchronize the data on all of your various computers so that you can access your files no matter where you are — at work, at home or on the road.

BeInSync synchronizes data using a secure peer-to-peer connections. For example, download the software to your desktop PC and your laptop, choose which folders to synch — (i.e. desktop, My Documents, etc.) After the process runs, every time you make a change to a document that change is automatically sent to your other PCs. The service maintains an authentication server that verifies your credentials. Users' data never leaves their control or resides on any third party servers as BeInSync uses a 128-bit encrypted direct peer-to-peer connection to move data between up to three synced computers. The service also provides an option for Web access to all or portions of the synced data. 

BeInsync 1.0 is available at the company's Web site with promotional pricing of $5.95 per month.

If you suffer with too many versions of too many files on too many machines --- BeInSync just might be your answer.
