Windows Live Mesh
April 28th, 2008 by hbond{{chris}} Windows Live Mesh certainly falls neatly into the category of Cool Tools.
With Windows Live Mesh Microsoft promises the freedom to share you personal files and folders across all your devices seamlessly and also access them on your live desktop online.
It sounds intriguing and I’ve signed up for the Beta program. I’ll post an update on what I think of it once I’ve had a chance to use it for a while. A couple negttives I see to it right now is that the service is only offering 5 gigabytes worth of storage while my personal files currently consume more that 10 gigabytes, and do I really want Microsoft storing all my files? Perhaps it may be a better solution to offer the synch technology with any online storage service such as Amazons S3.
First things first – let`s see how well the service works!
Windows Live Sync is another Microsoft product that offers similar functions such as synchronized folders.
