Microsoft has released a major update to its FolderShare file synchronization tool. FolderShare essentially lets users synchronize files and directories between multiple computers. There are clients for Mac and PC, so you can even keep documents synchronized if you're in a mixed marriage.

In a blog post, the FolderShare team point out some of the highlights of the new release:

• New website for easier library and computer management
• Improved performance on Windows Vista
• Better setup and imporved system tray
• Backend improvements keep FolderShare running more reliably

If you've got more than one computer and you've never tried FolderShare, you should really check it out. While you could set up shared network folders on your computer the old fashioned way and then use a tool like SyncBackSE to synchronize files, FolderShare makes the whole process a lot simpler.
