BeInSync is an online backup product that, in addition to backing up your data, allows you to automatically keep folders on multiple computers in sync and share files with others. This is can be a real boon to people who do work on multiple computers, an office computer and a home computer for example.

The service is based on their Microsoft Windows software application which I tested this week. I should note that I am a Macintosh user and BeInSync doesn’t have a Macintosh compatible version of their software so I tested it in a virtualized Windows environment using Parallels. That said, setup was a snap. I signed up for their free trial and downloaded the BeInSync application which is only 9.5MB. I was up and running in under 5 minutes.
