PowerFolder is a program to share/synchronize folders over the internet or on a local net. It uses peer-to-peer technology to exchange the files. This means you do not need a hosting server. Every client holds a local copy of the folder. It can be used to exchange every type of data for example music, photos, own documents or videos. PowerFolder automatically detects changes and synchronizes (configurable).

Since PowerFolder is a free product please understand that we can not provide 24/7 support for it, so you have to be patient with our answers to your questions. We offer the options below which you might consider in case you find a bug or you search for information not available in the existing documentation.

We have a chat room for discussion and support on the QuakeNet internet-relay-chat (IRC) network. You can connect by using the server irc.quakenet.org and join the #PowerFolder channel. Most of the team members are available there. We recommend to use the mIRC client, since it is the most popular Windows client to access those kind of networks.

Useful information and questions posted by either us or the user community can be found in the PowerFolder Forum. You are welcome to register yourself an account and post your questions, suggestions and critics there.
