A Windows Live Mesh Alternative… With No Fees, please!

Is GoodSync a true Windows Live Mesh alternative?

During the last couple of weeks, our GoodSync support team has received an increasing number of questions from Windows Live Mesh users checking out GoodSync's peer-to-peer file synchronization in search of a replacement for Microsoft's synchronization service.

Why? Microsoft will discontinue Windows Live Mesh effective February 12, 2013, referring current users to Microsoft SkyDrive. While SkyDrive offers 7 GBs of free storage to new users, and offers the advantages of a cloud storage solution, many users preferred Live Mesh because it offered an alternative to cloud storage.

Not everyone is comfortable with storing their files online, and why pay for centralized cloud storage just to automatically sync files between your own computers and devices?

If you are looking for an alternative to Live Mesh's (TM) ability to synchronize files and folders between your computers directly, and want to bypass the cloud, you can use GoodSync on your Windows and Mac machines, as well as on UNIX systems and mobile devices running iOS or Android. The GoodSync Connect feature not only keeps your files and folders in sync across all your computers easily and automatically, it also lets you take advantage of Block-Level Synchronization, minimizing bandwidth consumption, while offering more flexibility than Live Mesh.


GoodSync Connect is a great Live Mesh alternative and faster, too.  Block-Level Synchronization only transfers those parts of the file that have actually changed.

Save Time and Bandwidth with GoodSync Connect Block-Level Synchronization.

With GoodSync as the hub of your private cloud, you can decide which files you want to synchronize to your other computers, and which files you want backup in the cloud. GoodSync connects to many online storage providers, allowing you take advantage of the free storage that most of them offer, without having to install each one's client software.

If you are still looking to replace Live Mesh, try GoodSync for Free and free yourself from the cloud.
