    Skydrive / Windows Live Mesh queries


    *Will you be able to upload folders to Skydrive? I want to create a PHOTOS folder in Skydrive, then upload my 160 individual photo folders to it. Possible?

    *What is Windows Live Mesh?

    *I'd like to make it so any photos or docs I add to my hard drive, automastically go to Skydrive.

    Is that part of the functionality?

    What is: SkyDrive Wave 5 M3 (version 16.3)?

    yes

    *What is Windows Live Mesh?

    live mesh is a way of keeping files in sync between two computers (or more). for example, let's say you had a laptop and a desktop - every file you save on the laptop to mesh, automagically appears on your desktop too. there's also a feature that lets you connect to your meshed pc from anywhere on the internet, allowing you to access files, run programs etc.

    *I'd like to make it so any photos or docs I add to my hard drive, automastically go to Skydrive.

    i believe you can set it up like that by changing your default save locations to skydrive folders. although i would prefer to keep a local copy too.

    What is: SkyDrive Wave 5 M3 (version 16.3)?

    this is a new version of skydrive coming out soon, with a few more features.

    That is already available in SkyDrive but not Mesh.
    Sorry just checked. You cant drag and drop a folder but you can drag and drop files.

    Sorry, SkyDrive can't upload folders. Please upload the files that are contained in the folder instead.

    yeah I just wanna drop em in and let em go.

    I use Google for everything except mail (Yahoo) but am in the process of moving EVERYTHING to Microsoft. very impressed with what they are doing.
