As usual, MS product bloat leaves me feeling a little woozy.
- Live Mesh is the most complete. Everything that Windows Live Sync has to offer plus two extra features – cloud storage and remote desktop (with support for copy-paste).
- Windows Live Sync Live Sync also lets you remotely access your files on the hard drive. ...sync files and folders across different computers. You can synchronize up to 20 folders containing up to 20,000 files each. Individual files cannot be larger than 4 GB in size.
- Windows Live SkyDrive requires no installation and you get 25 GB of free storage space though the maximum size of an individual file / document cannot exceed 50 MB.
...As expected, each of these Live services do have some overlapping
features. Live Skydrive is for online storage, Live Sync is primarily for folder
synchronization across computers (no storage) while Live Mesh offers a good mix
of both though with limited storage space(5GB). Therefore my suggestion would be
to go with SkyDrive as well as Live Mesh – you’ll get plenty of storage space
plus remote desktop plus you can access important files from any other computer. Here is the full answer.
...Windows Office Live Workspace also support documents created in
OpenOffice and StarOffice to create greater compatibility on their services. source
