When you set up the initial shares (called libraries) you determine who can log into them by either Foldershare account or by email. (If you choose email they have to set up a Foldershare account using email.) As for accessing your files, that's never a problem because the files are stored locally. Each computer maintains a local copy of the data and Foldershare simply updates the other copy with any changes you make whenever it has an IP connection. It doesn't matter where the two computers are, they will synchronize as long as both are active and have an internet connection. The access restriction works by a simple permissions system.

I'm just wondering how the access restriction works on it. My personal solution is to run an Apache server and password all of my files so I can access them anywhere. Also, sometimes I SSH to my desktop while I'm out-and-about on the laptop. This comment was posted while booted to Windows XP.
