  I thought it useful to compare the main features of these three services, and that collating all these features into Live Mesh, being a desirable outcome:
   

  SkyDrive:

  • Private and contacts & public sharable online file storage (5GB)
  • Integrated within Live Spaces
  • Permissions:
  • Anyone on the internet (public)
  • Contacts, by entering email manually, or selecting from messenger contacts
  • Private

  Pros:

  1. Ability to share with public
  2. Thumbnail views

  
  

  FolderShare:

  • Private & contacts shareable folder/file syncing
  • Remote file access
  • Permissions:
  • Contacts, by entering email manually

  Cons:

  1. Cant view files in folders online
  2. Permissions limited, folders/files not able to be made available to public, only individual contacts

  
  

  Live Mesh

  • Private & contacts shareable online file storage (5GB)
  • Folder/file syncing (automatically compulsory sync to online storage as well as intended device/s)
  • Remote Desktop
  • Platform
  • Permissions:
  • Contacts, by entering email manually

  Cons:

  1. Permissions limited, folders/files not able to be made available to public, only individual contacts
  2. Syncing between devices requires syncing to Live Desktop, which may not be desired, or have enough space (5GB)
  3. Cannot browse drives/folders/files of connected devices without going into Remote Desktop
  4. Adding contacts is tedious via manually entering emails 1 by 1, should have ability to add via messenger contact list, and public in general

  
  

  Desired intergraded service:

  • Online file storage (5GB) (with option to have private, contacts & public folders/files)
  • Folder/file syncing (to chosen devices/storage only, not forced inclusion of Live Desktop)
  • Remote Desktop
  • Remote file access
  • Platform
  • Integrated within Live Spaces/My Live/Live Home
  • Permissions:
  • Anyone on the internet (public)
  • Contacts, by entering email manually, or selecting from messenger contacts
  • Private

  Notes:
  No feature should require another feature to be used (ie. syncing files require syncing to online storage as well)
  This should be user choice, and by doing so, then this service would provide all the functionality of SkyDrive and FolderShare
  This would allow a user to ditch using multiple services for the convenience of using just one that does everything, and using only the features they require.
