Windows Live Sync Alternative?

<< < (2/5) > >>

cmpm:
I was thinking to get logged into skydrive from the W7 computer,
and sync from there. If you can do skydrive and mesh on w7.

GoodSync is my recommendation (again), if that don't work.

$30
#3 I haven't tried in your requirements.
The rest works.

cmpm:
You can mount skydrive with Gladinet if that helps.

Not a single response... Is MS really so indispensable?

OK, so what it I back off from freeware?

I have several clients asking the same thing.

AFAIK the short answer is that there isn't any product out there that does exactly what Mesh does (i.e. sync+cloud storage+remote connections) the way Mesh does it.

The offsite storage part is easy enough. Lots of suppliers from Microsoft to Dropbox will give you a free account. It's the seamless synchronization part that gets kludgey. In theory, you should be able to map Skydrive and use any folder sync software with it once you do. In practice, it either doesn't work reliably - or it doesn't work at all.

I'm guessing somebody will come out with a product sooner or later to address this problem.

Deozaan:
Sounds like Dropbox would be perfect if you didn't have #4 as a requirement.

40hz:
+1 w/Deozaan. Right now, I think using a DropBox account is as good as it's gonna get.  :Thmbsup:
