iFolder as shipped with OES no longer works on my wife’s PC (looks like
something to do with permissions, but since it’s provided by her
employer I’m not going to try to get round that). What I need is
something that allows her to use the PC without any changes: for
example dropox isn’t suitable, because you need to move files to a
dropbox folder, whereas iFolder allows her to include the whole of
MyDocuments. I’d also like to have the data store in-house, not on
3rd-party cloud storage…
anyone got any suggestions?

does Filr allow you to specify the whole of mydocuments as a root for
one of the shared areas?[/color]
On second thought, may not be what you are after. Filr is more server
centric - syncing files on your server with a location on your PC.
I’ve only used the iOS app. Playing with the PC application is on my
list of things to do.

btsync is what I use here. Not only can you have the data store in-
house, they actually don’t provide cloud storage at all.
The free version is probably sufficient for what you’re looking to do.
it’s a machine that belongs to her employer: they get very panicky if
you change things, and the accounts are very locked down - for that
reason I need everything to look the same
