I just tried the Mesh / Live Sync not too long ago to test it out (I tried to sync to folders with Music).
Both BRAND new machines running Windows 7. Within a day it brought both machines to their knees with CPU and Memory use, and finally created about 30GB of TEMP files on each machine to make them fill the drives and crash. I stay the h*&# away from LiveSync now. Maybe I'll try it again in 5 years after MS goes back to the drawing board. What a joke.

And I just upgraded and it didn't manage to get all my folders resynced quite properly but close enough I guess. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth...

When I login to my Live Sync site (I use this heavily) it tells me this: Windows Live Mesh 2011 is replacing Windows Live Sync, and new users can't download Sync anymore. In early 2011, this website will be shut down and your files will stop syncing.

Are they going to stop supporting it, or will it only work with older version of LiveSync?

Can anyone confirm that? I've read statements both ways online. Is anyone aware of an alternative - free or otherwise - that will replace LiveSync functionality without requiring users to drag files/folders into an additional, special folder (ala dropbox) to conduct a sync? I've been trying SugarSync, but it is painfully slow.
