Windows Live Mesh

[dmex]

Microsoft Has released a tech Preview called Mesh allowing you to manage and synchronize files between most devices and your PC...

You can install Live Mesh on multiple devices-then Live Mesh can keep all the folders in your mesh synchronized for you! To add a computer to your mesh, visit www.mesh.com from the computer you wish to add, sign in, and click Add Device on the Devices page.

To get even more from Live Mesh, share folders with friends and family! Simply open a folder you've added to Live Mesh, click Members in the mesh bar, and then click Add.* Your friends will be able to access your folder as well as install Live Mesh on their devices.

You can enter any e-mail address to invite others to a folder; it doesn't have to be a Windows Live ID. However, they will need to use a Windows Live ID to sign in to and use Live Mesh.

Live Mesh puts you at the center of your digital world, seamlessly connecting you to the people, devices, programs, and information you care about—available wherever you happen to be

Have your devices working together.
Add a device to your mesh so you can easily synchronize the information you need, making the most up-to-date version available on any of your devices.
Experience anywhere access.
You can store up to 5 GB of files and folders in your Live Desktop, then access and share them from most web browsers. You can also use Live Mesh Remote Desktop to connect to a device in your mesh.
Add and share folders.
Folders in your mesh are available from your Live Desktop and can be synchronized with all of your devices. Share folders with family and friends, or keep them private.

The beta is available at https://www.mesh.com/
