Amazon.com Review:
Having used LapLink file transfer software for years, we were more than a little excited to get its latest iteration, PCsync 2.0. Packed with a plethora of features, PCsync 2.0 should be able to fulfill almost every type of file transfer need imaginable. And it does, albeit with software that, at times, can be difficult to configure.

At its core, PCsync is simply a utility that allows users to transfer files via a network connection, using the included serial and USB cables, or over the Internet. To this end, the product is fantastic. PCsync's USB cable transfers files at more than 5 Mbps, compared to a typical LAN's throughput of about 1 Mbps.

In addition to the core application, LapLink also includes a suite of additional utilities that, while they aren't nearly as useful as the basic application, give the product added value. PCMover is fantastic for people who are constantly building new computers with the same applications. Once the new system is built and the applications installed, PCMover updates the applications on the new computer with the settings from the older machine. SmartXchange is a way to ensure that files and folders that are shared between two computers are always in sync. MusicMover is LapLink's attempt to ride the MP3 wave that everyone is so convinced is the Internet's next cash cow. While it isn't a fantastic method for finding MP3s on the Internet, it will work as a classic peer-to-peer method for sharing files with other PCsync users. However, keep in mind that these sharing relations need to be set up manually.

Aside from its core usage--as a simple file transfer utility between two or more computers--another of PCsync's other useful applications is one called Surf Up. A truly brilliant application, Surf Up allows users running PCsync to access their shared folders from any networked computer, using any Web browser. This function is invaluable for people who occasionally work from home and need access to files on a work computer.

While PCsync is a fantastic tool once you get it up and running, we did run into some technical issues during the installation. Installing it on our laptop and home computers was a breeze. However, because PCsync's network settings conflicted with our company's network settings, we had to uninstall and then reinstall PCsync and completely reconfigure our desktop computer's network settings in order to get started.

If you're in the market for a good file transfer application from a reputable company, we're hard pressed not to recommend PCsync. Just be aware, however, that getting PCsync's network settings to live in peace with your computer's network settings may take some work. --William O'Neal

I bought this item last year and although it does what I need it to, I found there to also be a few too many glitches with the product.

For example, as a result of my loading PCSync onto my computer, it won't shut down all the way. I must now manually shut it off. I attempted to rectify this situation but found that the technical support folks at PCsync/Laplink are the absolute worst. They have a huge attitude and are very bitter. And to add insult to injury, they don't seem to have ... Read More

- A great concept, an awful product
Well to start with, it just doesn't work.

After installing it and trying for hours to figure out what was
wrong I called tech support and with all of their help, well it
still doesn't work.

So, at the suggestion of tech support, I got the upgrade, installed it, and.... it just doesn't work! (Are we seeing a
pattern here?).

Now, the suggestion is I buy the latest upgrade to 3.0. Do I look that gullible?

Try something else.

- How about no stars
Be careful with this product. I tried to load and run it about a dozen times. It was fine on my new PC but in Windows 98 it kept asking me for a driver that neither the Windows disk, program disk or website had to offer.
Unlike laplink, you cannot run smart exchange on your own computer for backup to a disk drive or IOmega drive. It is totally useless to me and I cannot send it back.
What a rip-off.
By the way,I have 20 years of power PC experience and I ran LapLink for about 10 ... Read More

- Be carefull!!!!
First of all, you must have laplink cables in order to make this program work. Off course, they don't tell you that!!!...Finally, you will spend hours downloading the software, because laplink's connection is ver unstable.

- This One Lives Up To The Claims!
So seldom do you find a utility program that is everything it claims to be, that this one was a breath of fresh air. This program is a great exception.

With the simple auto install of the program into both of your computers, you can instantly network them (even over the phone, or direct connection) or transfer individual files or all of them!

This is great when you have purchased a new computer and want to transfer all of your data (or if you have a computer you use at work ... Read More
