It looks quite interesting. But there are some limitations: "With Windows Live Mesh, you can sync up to 200 folders, each up to 50 GB in size and containing up to 100,000 files", not sure that we can fit.

Hmmm... Forgot about this feature, I'll try, thanx...

DB solves both things: makes local copies & sync's them as soon as connection is available. If there is a 'clash' (2 users changed the same file independently, then try to save it) it saves 2 copies of source with changed name. Not very elegant, but it's quite safe.

The key feature of DB is synchronization of files between multiple PCs. So, every PC will have it's own copy of files and it will be always up to date. So I can work with my files even having no connection to the server and/or internet at all. Sharepoint is good to provide web-access to shared files, but not for this. Web access to files is not critical.

Yes, it may be a problem. Dropbox solved it - I would like to have something like that.

Sure. It's the way it works now. The problem that some of us typically work out of the office. Network is not always accessible too. So everyone of us should have local copies of all the files.

Hello! I'm looking for solution for our team. We would like to have a 'shared folder' for all our guys, but it should be on our sever (Windows 2008), not @ Dropbox. We wouldn't like to use cloud storage, there is no need in it because we have our own server installed in a datacenter, it's accessible from the local network or thru VPN. I can't find any tool (or client/server tools) which would be the same way convenient as DB: simple to use, very quick synchronization etc. Any suggestions? How to make dropbox-like system using own hardware?

Hi, You may need something like CDN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content\_delivery\_network), but both 'parties' have to be subscribers of some CDN service. There are also some proprietary solutions, e.g. from Aspera (www.asperasoft.com) and others. Note that all of them use some proprietary protocols to speed up file transfer.

Hi, I'm trying to experiment with the newest version of former 'sql everywhere' and found the following problem (the way to reproduce in VS 2005, SP1): 1) in 'server explorer' I made new database (sdf file) with a couple of tables an some columns 2) new c++/cli project, trying to add new datasource project 3) select table(s) in the wizard ... everything guess goes well ... 4) on the stage of creating dataset: Creating DataSet class using XSD ... Writing file 'c:...DataSet.h'. Error: There was an error processing '.\...DataSet.xsd'. - Error generating code for DataSet ''. - Failed to generate code. Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider. Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider. <---- ?!?!?! Oops, dataset.h file is absolutely empty :( Has anybody experienced same problems? Dmitry

:confused:Trying to use SHFileOperation to copy files to/from FTP server, but without success (for a while). Anybody tryed to do such things? Guess, theoretically is possible...
