The Windows Live development team has been very busy lately. They have released the whole new Windows Live Sync that is now available for Windows and the Mac.

Changing its services from Live FolderShare, the new Windows Live Sync has several new features:

• Higher file limits—up to 20 synchronized folders (formerly known as libraries) with up to 20,000 files in each one.
• Integration with Windows Live ID.
• Integration with the Recycle Bin.
• Unicode support.
• More languages for Windows (46 in all).
• And lots of bug fixes.

If you are Windows Live FolderShare user, there is absolutely nothing to worry. Sync is designed to make transition easy, although there are a few steps for you to take:

• Install the software on each of your computers that previously ran FolderShare so Sync can automatically reconnect your synchronized folders.
• To keep sharing your synchronized folders, you’ll need to send your pals a new invitation. Don’t worry if they don’t have a Windows Live ID; we’ll help them get set up using their preferred e-mail address.
• Your synchronized folders will be set to automatically sync after migrating. If you’d prefer to sync on demand, just visit the Sync website to adjust that.
