The Digital Dilemma

http://on10.net/blogs/larry/First-Look-Live-Mesh-Client-for-Mac/ for the first look.

I have been using Live Mesh successfully since the tech preview launch. I know have operational data, teaching, and student collaborations being widely utilized. Great tool with 5gb of free storage. Basically, it keeps selected files both replicated across a set of computers and up in “the cloud” at Microsoft. So you can access them from several machines while making replications with your team members or collaborators. Additionally, you can take remote control of remote machines with Mesh.

Now you can collaborate with Macintosh users and leverage the power of Office tools while bridging the religious chasms of Leopard / Vista. Collaboration has never been easier or more sensible. If you are not familiar with Mesh, check out https://www.mesh.com .

Here is a couple of examples from my Mesh experience:

This is the web side interface which also gives you management control over your Mesh in addition to web based access to your files.

This picture shows a shared file folder with over 12 collaborators receiving replicated files on a Unified Collaboration folder.
