Microsoft SharedView is one of those quality pieces of free software which is fantastic but not very well-known. So here’s a bit about it and what it has to offer…
As described on their website…Microsoft SharedView is a fast, easy way to share documents and screen views with small groups of friends or coworkers; anytime, anywhere. Use SharedView to put your heads together and collaborate – create, convey and communicate…across physical boundaries, through firewalls, and down to the smallest details.
The program can be used by any individual who has a Windows Live ID which are free to obtain. Click to get yourself an ID.
The software however is only compatible with some of Microsoft’s latest operating
- Windows Vista – 32-bit Versions
- Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (32bit)
- Windows 2003 Server SP1 (32bit)
- Windows 7
You can use the software to have discussions (see above/click to enlarge) and share documents/handouts between friends and colleagues.

SyncToy 2.0 is a free software download from Microsoft. It is a Backup Tool and very very simple to use. Click to Download SyncToy 2.0. The download itself is fairly small so doesn’t take long to download on the typical Internet connection. The installation process is again straightforward and isn’t very time consuming. The software is extremely user friendly and couldn’t be any simpler to use. In fact, it’s so simple my Nan who learnt to change a battery 4 years ago would be able to use it!
The key element to the software is pairing folders, e.g., folder A and folder B. With the folder pairings you can choose one of three processes:
- Sync – Where any changes made in folder A are copied to folder B. And any changes made in folder B are copied to folder A.
- Echo – Where changes made in folder A are copied in folder B, but any changes made in folder B won’t be copied to folder A.
- Contribute – Very similar to Echo. Where changes made in folder A are copied in folder B, but any changes made in folder B won’t be copied to folder A. However, you cannot delete in either folder.
SyncToy is a great little application which I am very impressed with. Have you used it before? What do you think of it? Any questions?
