So much this. It was a great piece of software that was once super useful to me... 'twas circa 2010. I was a wee project manager at a small marketing + design agency in Goa---emailing "big" files (via relatively anaemic broadband) was our bread and butter; raw images, multimedia, Adobe, Corel, MS Office stuff.

One day, I tried to demo Groove in our weekly company-wide morning show-and-tells.

I had a few of our "usual suspect" files synced between my laptop, and another computer upstairs. And then I tried to show how I was making edits on one computer, then (dramatically) running up to the other one, and doing something else, or undoing / overwriting the previous edit.

The magical-to-me seamless, and fast updates didn't make much of an impression on the crowd. Perhaps all the huffing and puffing was not the best look while trying to sell something that was supposed to make everyone's life easier :,)

Anyway, I kept using it and was so hopping mad when it got "embraced, absorbed, and extinguished". Software that "just works" and works really well is such a rare thing.

I wonder if in the age of AI it's a lot easier to resurrect old software that we miss. Not easy, but a lot easier?
