rate1 mobsync can be used to synchronize offline files and folders in Microsoft environment   Jane Hall
rate1 It also appears in the Windows Startup list (msconfig). You can't switch off it via msconfig, altough you can uncheck it, but after restarting of Windows, it appears again. To switch off mobsync.exe do the following steps: Double click on "My Computer", choose "Tools" from the main menubar then select "Folder Options...", then select "Offline Files" pane and finally uncheck "Enable offline files".   Lazlow
rate5 It's stealing my data.   Patrice

rate1 Online runs once you start using offline caching   Ben
rate4 Another strange ?useless? windows service. Better turn it off and block it from contacting the internet.   dumbledor
rate0 When trying to delete it from c:\winnt\system32 and c:\winnt\system32\dllcache it rewrote itself back. I restarted in safe mode and renamed all the mobsync.* files to crap.* then disabled it from restarting. After restartng in normal mode it was gone. Very Strange...almost virus like.   rmckinjr
rate1 Many businesses with corporate domains rely on network shares to store user data. If you are on such a nework, disabling this program may result in a loss of data. It's best to leave it running, as it invokes no consequential performance hit.   Tom
rate3 Disable Offline Files from Control Panel and mobsync will stop running   sprabs

rate1 It's short for Mobile Sync, syncs media files (music, pictures and videos) with mobile devices (mp3 player, video player, camera) though USB using Media Tranport Protocol (MTP).  See also: Link   Tae Song
rate5 50% CPU utlization hit with 8MB of resource memory taken. This is a resource hog so not sure why posters here would so otherwise. This should be removed/disabled at all cost.   Nads
rate1 The file is as Tom said. The exception is when you are not on a network shared with other people. Then its good to disable and prevent it from being misued by an internet hijacker or hacker   Ryan
rate4 apparently my keyboard lost thr letters n an y, however they reappeard after stopping mobsync.exe   THH
rate1 The exe is used to sync data with another computer, if working correctly it is not a reasource hog, and should not be taking up a huge amount of your cpu. If you have no need for syncing the data to another computer/location, the process is not needed, however, if your on a network, or a network that is being maintaned by someone, you should not mess with it whatsoever.   Darcy
rate1 It syncronizes offline webpages etc. on the internet upon logon/logoff. If you don't use onffline web pages/offline email, then dissable it.   Trevor
rate1 addition to active sync, sync folders/files on sd-card etc. with folders/files on the PC Makes active sync more useful   Gerd B.
rate1 Controls Windows Mobile Phones from Your Dektop   Kris Watson
