I’ve been using both Dropbox and Live Mesh for a month now can pretty much say that dropbox is the one for folder sharing/emailing photo links to family/collaborating on files & documents and Mesh is the one for home networking/synchronzation of folders/critical files backup. Hope this helps!

Been using Live Mesh for a while, have never experienced these problems and also use Firefox on my netbook with no problems whatsoever apart from some right at the beginning.

Also have it now running on a Windows Home Server, which is handy.

I can also highly recommend PutPlace: http://putplace.com/ a small Irish startup with an excellent product.

i’ve been using live mesh, non of the reported problems above occur on firefox. very cool feature, apart form the lack of drag and drop (which is promised soon). a date for mobile and mac integration would be useful as well.

I quite like Office Live, particularly the integration with Office 2007 (can’t think of much else good to say about Office 2007).
I have been thinking about trying Live Mesh, but your article highlights the sort of problems I was expecting – I think I’ll give it a miss and have a look at Dropbox.
