Does/as anyone used this. If so as it’s still in beta is it reliable. Many thanks for advice/opinions.

Hi to75ne,

I've not used it myself yet, I was thinking about it though and may install it this weekend. So I'll let you know how it goes if you want.

I currently use Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com) as a way to sync files between various PC's and this works really well. You only get 2GB of space though for free whereas Microsoft give you 5GB for use with LiveMesh. I was thinking of possibly running both alongside each other to get more free 'cloud'/sync space.

cheers spikeybob,

I would appreciate that; thanks.

I was thinking of dropbox but, live mesh apparently allows you to grant different permissions to different people, allowing some to synch some files but not others, I would find that very handy in the next few months.

I will not be around this weekend (probably), and don’t have time at the moment to play around with these gizmos, so any straight opinion I would really appreciate.
