About the online user list

From Concentrate Software provides a convenience web service that makes accessing your Share easy. It's a pain to have to write down your IP address every time that you connect to the internet so FCS provides a service that will record your IP address for you. You simply need to bookmark one page and it will redirect you to the last IP address logged from Share.

To use the online user list, simply launch Share and navigate to the preferences. Click the checkbox labeled "Update online user list" and enter (or change) the username. Now, whenever Share launches, it will notify the online service of your IP address. All you have to do is navigate to http://www.fromconcentratesoftware.com/Share/users/your user name to be redirected to your Share. A clickable link is included below the username field.

The online user list is useful for several reasons:

Note that usernames are available on a first come, first serve basis. Routine maintenance will cull out any users that have been inactive for more than two weeks. After two weeks of nonuse, your username will no longer be associated with your machine and will be available to the next user.

Security notice

Share does not attempt to send any information other than your username, a unique key for username validation purposes, and your IP address. No other information is sent to the online service. Your IP address is available publicly. From Concentrate Software does not use your IP address or username in any way apart from providing this service. When you quit Share, it will send a message to the server to delete your IP address from the registry. Your username and a unique key will be stored on the server so that future connections will validate against your machine.
