Live Mesh
If you haven’t tried it already, you’ve got to install Live Mesh. It’s turning out to be one of the most indispensible software utilities I own, and I’m wondering how I ever got along without it.
It’s a small utility (currently released as a beta) I installed on all my computers: home, work, laptop. After associating each with my Windows Live ID, I now have folders that stay constantly in synch between all the computers. The software somehow goes through firewalls and understands when computers are turned off or inaccessible, and the bottom line is that my documents are available everywhere. I can even access my documents from somebody else’s computer just by logging into http://www.mesh.com (being careful to log out afterwards of course).
Another very cool feature is that you can remotely access any of your devices from any other. In other words, I can now log into my work computer when I’m at home, using essentially the same experience you get with Remote Desktop, except it all works through my browser and Live Mesh software.
There are many other features, including some that you just know they’re working on to make available in the non-beta version. Definitely download and use this—you won’t regret it.
