CodeTwo Public Folders

With the rapid spread of the Internet, file sharing has become a common thing, with the possibility to send files nowadays even via social networks. However, using specialized applications like CodeTwo Public Folders can considerably reduce the effort of file sharing, letting you handle all operations from the comfort of your desktop.

The application comes with two components, namely a client, as well as a syncing master. However, they’re not both required to be able to perform file sharing, but you need to install the one you use on at least two target computers.

With the client component you’re able to access an online database directly from the main window, where multiple individuals share public folders. Adding one is incredibly easy, mostly requiring a name and source. Once done, the other computer can browse through the online database, subscribe to that particular folder, and grab any content that’s inside.

The other component is mostly dedicated to Office’s Outlook component. You start off by configuring computer account rights to access and use elements in a created database, as well as migration settings, restoring, and synchronization. This component can also be used to export the database to file and easily import it later on, or on other computers through the sync master.

However, the second component handles sharing differently, in the sense that folders you share can’t be accessed by everyone. Enabling Internet access through the sync master allows other computers to connect and perform exchange of outlook databases. Connecting is easily done, and only requires the target PC to write down the Internet name or IP address of the sync master machine.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that CodeTwo Public Folders is a practical office companion that intends to make file and database sharing much easier than conventional methods. Components can be used independently from one another, with quick setup of parameters, easy identification of files, and quick downloading.
