The fact that it is free is an added bonus. Foldera has made my life a little simpler. Ya'll should give it a shot if you want. If not it's all good some of the other apps out there are great also. I guess it is your own preferences. Yeah I think Foldera is a very nice tool for communication and collaboration. The fact that it is free is an added bonus.

But for a FREE account (I think majority of users), I think Foldera is the most generous: 2 GB of storage (w file management/storage). Teamwork (1mb), Basecamp (zero storage). I think there is advantage to being launch late, you can learn from others mistakes. For now, I think Foldera has a very compelling offering: email integration (pop access), task, contact management, chat (coming soon), calendar. For those who need project management, basecamp might be a good choice (though you need to pay to get full features). Anyway, I suspect, most user would use such app to communicate and share files, rather than work on complicated project. For those new users (those currently subscribed to other apps may find it a hassle to switch), you may want to try out Foldera.... the late kid on the block.

I've also been active in the beta in regards to making reccomendations and pointing out bugs.It already seems to do a number of things that other programs don't. Drag and drop throughout the program to me kind of sets them apart from others. It's clean and easy to use, oh sure I've got other accounts too that I use gmail,yahoo ,but I'm finding that I'm using my Foldera account more and more and I can just pop my gmail into Foldera not with yahoo tho have to have their paid premium account for that. I also like the collaboration aspects of it, I don't use it for a business ,but I do use it for friends and family. For instance I have an Activity Folder named Family Events and I share this with my parents and brothers. It's a great way to keep in touch with each other, schedule events and assign any tasks for these events who's going to bring what or whatever else needs to be taken care of. I also like the way they're going about adding features to the program, to me it seems like they're listening to their users in regards to what they add.

Or perhaps someone could do a matrix comparison of competing apps, would be more useful to most readers, rather than the current ongoing arguments in this thread.

At some level I don't blame you for using something you created to write something you have a vested interest in, but the obviously planted comments (by others) makes this entire thread look bad. Personally I think this company is <a href="http://blog.auinteractive.com/foldera-web-20-bubble" rel="nofollow">a day late and a few dollars short</a>. It's going to take a lot more than TC hype to compete against companies (Google, MS, etc.) that have more reach, resources - and who don't wait 1+ years to launch a product in this space.

The features they are struggling to implement have been well executed years ago by companies both big and small. The leaders are actually operating from 2nd and 3rd generation products now (some actually quite well thought out). So what's the reason a "Foldera update" gets mention on TC? TC if you're going to cover a sector ignore the press releases; get back out there and do your research. I'd like to hear what TC's editorial mission is so I can decide if it's maturing as a credible industry host or a valley wag.

Mike had nothing to do with this post. Regarding Mike’s involvement in Foldera. Mike’s involvement with the company is disclosed in the second sentence of this post and in the “About Us” section of Techcrunch too. Mike has never sought to keep his involvement with Foldera a secret. Foldera didn’t ask Mike to help us so he could get us publicity. We asked him to help us because we thought that he could help us shape the product in a positive way. He has. In fact drag and drop and integrated search across email, tasks, events and files (that was released yesterday) was his suggestion. Mike has gone out of his way to show no preference to Foldera over any of the companies you guys and others are building. Regarding “Infomercials” and “planted posts” Call them what you like, but they are real customer testimonials from actual Foldera users. When Nick said “let me know what you think”. I put the call out to the Foldera team to speak with some of our customers and have them go to Techcrunch and let you know how they are using Foldera. Simple as that. Regarding pumping the stock. Anyone that has followed the company in the Yahoo message boards knows that exactly the opposite is true. Go back and look for yourselves. Regarding “Salesforce integration” Please send me an email. I’d love to hear how you would find this useful. rlusk at foldera dot com. Regarding “Outlook integration” Yes. With Foldera you can POP your mail into Outlook. IMAP functionality is coming later in the year. We also have an import tool that makes it possible for you to import your contacts from Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook etc. Regarding Foldera is “very late to launch” Yes we are. Early last year we thought we had a product that was ready to ship. We were wrong. We did the blogger and press tour got many of you excited, and we did not deliver. Yesterdays release was the first step in trying to win back your confidence. If we’ve lost you forever. We know that it is our fault. Hopefully this clears the air enough that we can refocus these discussions on the Foldera app. If not, I’m happy to answer your further questions.

Unusal number of similar-sounding reviews by folks with no website or blog. No website or blog by those "reviewers" is the giveaway. I agree with the last poster.

To me, it comes across as very inauthentic and makes me very suspicious. There's no doubt that Foldera occupies a space that has tremendous opportunity. BaseCamp is nice but only the opening salvo in the evolution of an important online product category. Looking at the screenshots, though, I'm a little skeptical. It looks like a rip off from a sleep-inducing Google sytlesheet. And this comes from a company that almost 2 years ago was bragging about a revolutionary UI, which is certainly not the case.

Earlier I posted a comment that was critical of Foldera and somebody deleted it. Freakin' sketchy! THIS IS MESSED UP! Earlier I posted a comment that was critical of Foldera and somebody deleted it.
