I'm using Live Mesh to sync large amounts of data (~500GB) between my desktop and laptop. It works well, but when I reorganize files on one of the computers simply by moving them around within the shared folder, the sync processes doesn't understand this
and begins transferring ALL of the data again. Is there a solution to this problem? Will it be fixed in a future version?
Are you referring to Live Mesh beta - www.mesh.com? If so, there will be no future version and service will cease at the end of March 2011. Yes, sync in Live Mesh beta is inefficient. That should not be the case in Windows
Live Mesh. If it is, though, discussion of the new Windows Live Mesh (formerly Sync), (as well as the released Live Sync version) belongs here:
