    When I use mesh to access files online, IT will only allow one ID to signin. No matter which machine I try to access it from, it only recognizes one ID. Is there a way to allow multiple ID's of my choosing to access the files on live mesh desktop? I know that I can signin to multiple places with one ID. But I don't want to do that with mesh. I want each person that I share files with to be able to use their own ID.

    Each LiveID needs to sign up for Live Mesh at www.mesh.com
    Then you can invite another LiveID to share a folder from your Mesh and vice versa.
    By default, your Live Mesh is only visible to *your* LiveID that defines the Mesh for you and your devices. You can invite other users on a folder by folder basis and those users can have their own folders defined for *their* Live Mesh in addition to the ones shared by you to them.

    That sounds like a suggestion candidate to me. :-)

    Basically, it sounds like you want to have the ability to invite a LiveID to your Live Desktop - all folders - in one step.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for explaining that. I understand how it works, but it seems like a complicated way to handle a simple task. If I may, suggest that they change the current method of sharing, To have a feature to allow chosen user ID's to access the entire content of the mesh desktop, as opposed to folders individually. This could be easily set up as an option, and for some, would work better.
