FolderShare is finally being moved to the Live Family of Services similar to SkyDrive and Windows Live Mesh.  This time FolderShare will be called Windows Live Sync.  This is great to see everything moving into the cloud and into the Live Services.

The only problem you might find is that your shared libraries.  Make sure and copy them off before the move in December.

What I still don't know for sure is what services I prefer.  I use Windows Live SkyDrive the most for storing data, Live Mesh beta and FolderShare I have pushed off for a more robust client, specifically Microsoft Groove.  Some of the major problems with all of these for me is the lack of version support.  It does appear that FolderShare is going to have Recycle Bin.

So you probably are wondering what this has to do with SharePoint?  How awesome would it be to have a data storage location of Windows Live SkyDrive or a document library type of FolderShare (Windows Live Sync)?  These systems could connect your hard drive to the cloud and the cloud to your Enterprise applications such as SharePoint.  There are many products in the cloud now so we will see which ones come out on top.  It seems we now need Architects just for the cloud services and integration points.
