Or we simply said "that's one feature that doesn't work" and stuck with what
does work. I don't have the time or, frankly, inclination to act like a beta
tester for programs I'm not beta testing. If it's released non-functional, I
usually just grouse to my husband and/or coworkers.

I have _never_ gotten this feature to work. On five different computers,
three locations, some three dozen plus remote sites. Never. Ever. Ever.
Worked. It always tries to upload most, if not all, of the files. Even if I
synchronize and then immediately synch again.

So I just use something else. :)
