4shared.com launches a new feature – Data Synchronization. Using it you will be able to synchronize any folder from desktop of your computer with your 4shared account. Its advantage is an ability to keep your files up to date without necessity to update them in your 4shared account or perform constant re-uploads. You need to install 4shared Desktop to set synchronization with your computer. You also should be logged into your account using 4shared Desktop to see a new tab – “Synchronization” beneath toolbar and to activate this process. The list of synchronized folders will be displayed in this area. It is possible to synchronize any folder simply by clicking on the icon “Create a new synchronization” on the toolbar. Setting this feature enables you to upload, download, rename files within any synchronized folder from desktop of your computer and more than that – editing files on your computer you automatically edit them in your account. This process prevents copying already identical files and thus can save considerable time from a manual copy, also being faster and less error prone. Data Synchronization was incorporated for your comfort and time-saving.

Hi everybody! So how are you doing today? Hope all is fine. We are again with good news! One more innovation – everything for your comfort and convenience! Our new feature is called Add to my account. You may say – “It’s not new! It is possible to add files to my account; I’ve seen Add to my account button on the download pages of the files. So what is new with it?” Well…From now you can add entire folder to your account with all subfolders and files. Adding a folder by only one click is now possible. What should be done for activating this feature? To activate it, the owner of the folder should simply click on the icon Settings in the top right corner of his account and tick “Allow others to add my files to their accounts”. This option will activate both adding separate files and entire folders. After these easy steps you will be able to add folders of other users to your own account simply clicking on the button Add to my account on the toolbar of any shared folder. So how do you feel about our innovation? Do you like it? You are always welcome to write us any suggestions and propositions on how to improve 4shared!
