Managing file versions, calendars, tasks and email across a group is a major challenge. SYNCING.NET keeps every bit of data organized and up to date across each group member’s PC, laptop, netbook and even the iPhone. This week we’d like to outline how to share Outlook and files in a workgroup.

Instructions:
Step1
Download the software at www.syncing.net, and save the setup file to your hard disk. When you start the installation immediately, click “Run.” The installer will guide you through the necessary steps to install the software.

Step 2
After a successful installation, SYNCING.NET will start automatically. Next, you will be prompted to enter a user account or to create a new. If you are installing the program on a second PC, you may choose to use an existing account. An account is required on all PCs with the software installed.

Step 3
Choose one of the following options: Select “Share my files and folders”, if you want to create a File-Sharing synchronization network, select “My Outlook data”, if you want to create an Outlook synchronization network.

Step 4
If you choose to create a File-Sharing network, select “New Network” under “Files” and enter a name for it. Then select the folder on your hard drive whose contents will be synchronized with all members you will then invite to this network. If the folder is to be synchronized on more than just your own computers, you now have the opportunity to invite other people to your File-Sharing network.

Step 5
To invite people to the network, simply enter their e-mail addresses, and they will immediately receive an e-mail invitation from SYNCING.NET containing a download link if they do not already have the software installed. After they have successfully installed it, a message is displayed inviting them to your new network. Add one or multiple e-mail address and when finished and send the invitation.

Step 6
If you want to create an Outlook synchronization network, select “New Network” under “Outlook” and enter a name for it. Select one or more Outlook folders from the previously selected Outlook profile which you want to keep in sync with other computers. Gray Outlook folders are already synching in another network and cannot be selected.

Step 7
If the folder or folders are to be synchronized on more than just your own computers, you now have the opportunity to invite other people to your Outlook network. Simply enter their e-mail addresses, and they will immediately receive an e-mail invitation from SYNCING.NET containing a download link if they do not already have the software installed. After they have successfully installed it, a message is displayed inviting them to your new network. Add one of multiple e-mail address and when finished, send the invitation.

Step 8
Once your friends or colleagues have been invited to your Outlook network, the current contents of your Outlook folders is prepared for export.
