Presence now costs just $4.99 for three months, with a free trial first.
Everything on hand, whenever you need it
With all your files available all the time, you're free to be spontaneous. There's no need for USB drives, no uploading, and you don't have to predict the future.
Cloud services like Dropbox make a few of your files available, and copy them to someone else's server. Presence puts your whole Mac in the cloud, and doesn't copy your files anywhere. Access to everything, with security and privacy. Don't put a few files in the cloud - put your Mac in the cloud!
Share with other people
Getting files to others has never been easier, especially if they're too big to email. There's no messing around with file sharing services - just send a link. Share whole folders for people to browse at their leisure, or to download as a zip. And because it's Presence, you can share from anywhere.
Take photos through your Mac's camera, from anywhere
A user favorite. (And you can turn this feature off if you want to.)
Free your iPhone and iPad
Presence is the bridge between your iPhone and iPad apps and the outside world. On your device, you can transfer files from your Mac to other apps, and from other apps back to your Mac (if the apps support this). Great for editing files on the go, but the possibilities are endless.
Try Presence and find out why Macworld UK described it as "Better Than Back to My Mac".

Tons of other examples but what matters most is... this program is great.

The application works as advertised. For downloading files remotely, it's great. With screen sharing, it's the technophobe's VPN.

Now that I've upgraded, the app doesn't work on my MacBook when I'm away from home (like it used to). It does work at home on my own network, but who needs that? I've do doubt that, if I were to pay to use EasyConnect, it would work. My guess is that that was a free feature of FarFinder.
I'm considering deleting it and searching for another way to access my files from remote locations.
Too bad.

Most such problems can be solved if you get in touch, but I can't help you if you don't! If FarFinder was working for you, Presence should also work without EasyConnect, so it's probably solvable.
The upgrade to version 2 is optional; version 1 can be downloaded from the web site.

However I really missed the opportunity to extract archives on the server. On a normal desktop machine you can just right click and chose extract. But when browsing your files with FarFinder, you have to download any rar or zip file, extract it and upload it again. This is not funny if we are talking about 1-2 GB files.
So please include an unrar function in FarFinder and I will buy instantly!
There are open source libraries for unrar out there, that should make it possible (and probably not too hard) to implement it.

I see comparisons have been made - see suggestions in the info box - with DropBox. This is unfair on both products because they are cater for very different needs. I use both and use them for completely different purposes.
With Farfinder I can access ANY file on my system- including files on attached (and shared) external hard drives.
With DropBox I can access - including via their web site - any files in my DropBox - in my case this is a tiny fraction of the files on my system. They are usually critical files - and of course with FarFinder I have access to these too.
I use DropBox to synchronize my critical files between two locations - I call it instant off-site backup - back to my home iMac when I'm working on my files at work. I simply drop my backup files into my DropBox and my MBP and almost immediately I can see them in FarFinder in the DropBox of my iMac at home. I need DropBox installed on my MBP - but that is no problem. It is actually 3 locations - including DropBox web site.
For this offsite backup, DropBox is wonderful - for accessing ANY file on my iMac at home from ANY computer ANYWHERE, FarFinder is wonderful - horses for courses. Both excellent products that I would not like to be without.
BTW - I also use Microsoft Live to synch files between 2 distant computers - it works just like DropBox but without the web site in the middle - so both computers need to be online - free and very fast and almost instant.

Logging on remotely is a breeze. In some ways it's easier that Back To My Mac, which can occasionally go AWOL without apparent reason. I spend a fair amount of the year away from home so instead of trying to pre-empt every possibility by taking a chock-full laptop, I can just take what I /think/ I'm going to need and backhaul anything I turn out to need unexpectedly.
The setup is straightforward. No tecchie skills required. Only problem I had was setting up gmail SMTP for emailing files direct from FarFinder. But a quick check on the gmail site solved that (a port problem. Use Server port 465 and SSL and your full username (foo.bar@gmail.com, not just foo.bar) and you should be fine.
Haven't really tested it to death in the wild, but so far looks like a damn fine piece of life insurance.
Everybody, please note that leaving a comment here on MacUpdate is not a good way to get support. This applies to all applications - most developers are only too pleased to help you out, but you have to contact them in the ways they've provided, otherwise they won't know about your problem!
