DLS Review: IDriveSync is a cheaper, more powerful, Dropbox competitor for Windows (Download Squad)

Sep 17th 2010 7:48PM I've been taking idrivesync for a spin and so far it has not measured up to my expectations.

I'm testing it between two synced computers and seeing how it does with revisioning. I'm editing an html file in dreamweaver on a file that is included to sync in idrivesync. So far it's been hit and miss with running the synchronization. The last save I did on one of the computers is still not showing on the other one. I hit the refresh button and it says that it's all synced up, but on the other computer the date modified is still the old one and the file is still the old version. I've disconnected, closed idrivesync and restarted, but still no sync. I've also made further revisions to the html file to see if it would trigger a sync, but still no go.

I realize it is in beta, and for that reason I'm probably going to have to pass on using it for now. Hopefully they get the bugs worked out and then I'll revisit the app to see if it gets the job done.
