I just tried out this cool Live application last week and wanted to share it with you. It is called Windows Live Mesh 2011.

Originally Chris, my assistant, and I were emailing each other files that he had to work on and when he was done he was emailing them back.

I tried synching full folders but found out that the data was just too big for the online storage area and worried about file security. Now I synch a file called \u201cChris Transfer\u201d by dragging files I want him to work on for the day and then dragging them back to their home at the end of his work week. Although I wish I could synch the full folder to make it easy, this plan is working great for now.<\/p>\n

If you need to keep information updated on your laptop for travel or travel with less than your full file load, Live Mesh may be a good answer for you too. Check it out, it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
