Love it! My usage time doesn't tell the story. Love that I can share files
with my hubby without ever touching the interface! The mobile set up was a snap
and syncs like a dream!
I used SugarSync and FolderSync for a while, but I see a great future for
Mesh. The ability to connect remotely to connected machines are great - never
mind the ability to do continues only backup.
For the feature set vs. the price (FREE) it is my pick.
I have really started to like using mesh to share documents across multiple
machines. Not only is the multiple machines a neat little feature, but the
included "Remote Desktop" application is pretty hip as well. As long
as the Machine is in your "networked devices" you have the ability to
Remote Desktop and fix files through applications on other machines. I'm still
anxious for the Mobile Device support. You can reach http://www.mesh.com from a mobile
device and pull down the documents, but not "sync" them with the
servers. It's still in beta, but a really great start. And with 5.1 Gigs of
storage you can put a heck of a lot of word docs in there.
Plus I love the fact you can share folders with friends and restrict roles
for the people that you share information. A great little service!! And with
minimal GUI presence it makes the whole experience feel like an integration than
an application. Cool App.
Excellent service for syncing files and folders between multiple computers or
devices. More intrusive than some other options. Microsoft gives you more
storage than many of the competing services and there's really no need to sign
up if you have a Live ID. I still prefer DropBox (getdropbox.com), which is less
intrusive but does everything I need.
This is like Windows Live Sync, but much better. Synchronization with Mesh is
easy to set up and do, the programs work well with both Windows and Mac, and
most importantly, it doesn't get in my face all the time! The cloud
synchronization is also an added bonus, which sorta shows mobile me the door
really.
Microsoft lance un service intéressent, qui peu maquer de fluidité parfois.
Le soft fonctionne à merveille, la sychro se fait en tache de fond (mais
manque un peu de vitesse).
l'idéal pour celles et ceux qui travaillent sur plusieurs machines, ou qui
cherchent à synchroniser un répertorie avec leur téléphone portable.
Malheuresment, comme souvent, microsoft oublie l'interopérabilité des système
et ne propose rien pour linux et mac. Dommage ...
Live Mesh is a service from Microsoft that is currently in closed beta (I
think) that allows users to set certain folders on various computers to
automatically syncronize to the web and other computers. The web storage is
currently 5GB but will most likely expand, and folders with large files can be
set to only syncronize across computers, not onto the web storage. The web
interface allows anyone using IE to access a currently running,
"meshed" computers remotely as if you were using that computer
directly. It also allows you to access the "Live Desktop" which holds
all web-syncronized files. From there you can download/upload files from your
non-meshed computers on any browser, and the files will be synced to your meshed
devices on login. It works on Windows, Mac, and Windows Mobile devices. For
Windows Mobile it is especially useful as you can take pictures with your camera
and they are automatically synced to the web and your home computer without any
worries. Also, the Mesh framework is being used by Microsoft and other devs to
add applications across the Mesh so that users can have (small) apps running off
the web for various purposes, including a calculator demo from Long Zheng (not
online) and Mesh monitors. When you first add a devices, Mesh shortcuts will
appear on your desktop. When you click on them, you can change their sync
location to any folder you want. Also, you can right-click on a folder and
select "Add folder to Live Mesh." Sync it as a meshed folder name, and
it will merge the mesh folder with that folder, even if the Explorer name is
different. Both ways are very easy, but I personally prefer the second as their
is less work involved than manually browsing to a location. All in all, it is a
very promising web service that will hopefully be expanded to Linux, other
mobile OSs, and individual drives. When the beta reopens, go to mesh.com or
follow the Wakoopa download link to get it. You will need a Live ID, which you
can get from the Mesh sign-in page for free. Enjoy.
this is a cool app
I wish to have more space and faster speed
Great piece of software. Definitely fills a need in my e-life.

LiveMesh disabled aero in Windows 7 beta temporarily until it updates itself.

awesome sharing service of MS
Easy method for sync data in work and home PC.
Disappointing and not particularly functional or useful. There are much better collaboration and synching resources available elsewhere.

Improvements to go still, but looking promising.

This is a terrific tool to synchronize files between your computers. It works without getting into your way...
