General Info: As you may have seen in our previous post, Koingo Software recently bought out an app called Swift Share, and I’m here to give you my thoughts on it! My first impression on the software are good, plenty of different tools to use, but still plenty of advice (there is a special help feature at the bottom which explains where everything is). I could easily find my way around, easily setting up one Windows Shared folder (I also set up a Mac one). Everything looked fine, it was telling me what IP address I had to use to connect, but as soon as I tried to connect from my PC, nothing happened, where previously with mac OSX’s built in tool it would have asked me for a username and password. Time to try again. I looked in the System Prefs and decided to connect using the IP address under Windows Sharing, as I had expected, up comes my Shared Folder.

So, although it tried to make me connect to the wrong server at first, I did get my sharing folder set up. The main reason for using this software would be to set up a special folder for sharing, whilst not exposing the whole of your home folder, but if you don’t mind exposing your home folder, you have al the tools built in.
