With Live Mesh, you can synchronize files with all of your devices, so you always have the latest versions handy. Access your files from any device or from the web, easily share them with others, and get notified whenever someone changes a file.

Some of the synonyms for Mesh includes engage and lock. The goal of the web application is part of Microsoft’s futuristic view of cloud computing – having everything on the Internet and not have to worry about where you are and how you can retrieve a file. With that in mind, the application Live Mesh that allows sync, sharing and accessing files, was updated on April 27th extending its services to both Mac and Windows Mobile.

Features

  • You can not only sync, but also share and access files where the application is installed
  • The last location used in the folder synchronization dialog is now saved.
  • Live Mesh News will displays the date and time for all news events.

Fixes

  • Improved the update experience
  • Device status (online/offline) now properly displayed on the Live Desktop
  • News now correctly displays the year.

For those of you keeping track, we’ve also moved Mac, Mobile and Live Desktop to a single version numbering scheme. The new version is 0.9.4014.3
