I have been using AllWay Sync for about two weeks now and it hasn’t missed a beat. There are, however, some responsibilities the user must take. It’s good software, but it isn’t going to prevent lame behavior. Here are two habits you have to get into to make the best use of this software:

Always sync with your memory stick when you finish working. You might forget tomorrow morning when you take off for the office (and computer #2).

Always sync with your memory stick first thing. This sort of seems like the first habit, but it’s different. I sync when I start on a computer and when I end on that computer. In other words, I want my memory stick to always be up to date.

Here is another quirk, although it has nothing to do with the software. It is the user’s responsibility to make sure the folders being synched are the right ones! It’s easy to check, but also easy to overlook. The penalty? Really messing up your folders. If AllWay thinks that Folder B is really Folder A and doesn’t have any of the files it sees in Folder A, then it will put them there for you. After all, that’s what it gets paid to do, right? So you will have to take some personal responsibility for the proper use of the package. That said, it’s great software and a real boon to those of us who are migratory computer users.
