What is Live Mesh?

meshicon

The design goals for Live Mesh are to have:

  1. your devices work together
  2. your data and applications available from anywhere
  3. the people you need to connect with just a few clicks away for sharing and collaborating
  4. the information you need to stay up-to-date and always be available

The Live Mesh blog captures it nicely with their tagline – Here, There, Everywhere.

My experience from a month of testing? They did a pretty good job…point 3 needs a little work in my opinion but it’s minor compared to all the great stuff Live Mesh does.

Here is how easy it is to put a a file or folder in my mesh – right click and I get this new icon in my context menu

rightclick

a few seconds later, that folder is in my mesh – accessible anywhere from any web browser. Nice eh? :)
