Automatic RSS Feeds

Coronasync can turn any folder on your hard drive into an RSS feed instantly! Compatible with any standard feed reader, it’s a great way to share your documents or images with friends!

Coronasync makes it incredibly easy to create an RSS feed from just about any content. This includes the special format RSS feeds used for podcasts and for the new photocasting application.

Any folder which you have setup to sync using the Web Folders synclet can be viewed as an RSS feed. The feed URL is conveniently displayed at the bottom of the settings window. The example below shows a folder named “Race Results” that has been setup in the Web Folders synclet. Note the “Address” with the URL that is displayed at the bottom of the window.



Once you have successfully synced this folder, you can click on the URL to launch your browser and view the contents. This URL is an RSS feed URL that can also be displayed as a standard web page. You can use and publish this URL for either viewing in a browser or subscribing using a feed reader.

If you want your RSS feeds to be visible to anyone besides yourself, you will need to setup sharing for the folder. Click the Sharing tab and select to share the folder as either “public” or “group.”



Public shared folders will be visible to anyone who knows the URL. Group shared folders will require the user to have a valid Coronasync member account for which you have granted access.

Download Coronasync – Simple Install
Simply download and run the coronasync_setup.exe file. This will install the Coronasync software for Windows. Look for the arrow indicating that new synclets, or updates for existing ones, are available. Once you download and install Coronasync, it will passively check for updates.
