    Recognizing that Live Mesh is only a tech preview, not being able to delete a folder seems like a pre-beta "feature". I'm sure I don't appreciate what complexity of such a capability might entail, but it seems like this is pretty fundamental. Please, when???

    What's the liklihood of a storage increase any time soon, and what's the maximum going to be? A couple hundred GB will entirely change the way I do things.

    Finally, I haven't seen much information about security. Is the mesh desktop secure, encrypted or encryptable?

    The product looks like it has a fantastic future, and I'm anxiously awaiting future developments.

    Keep up the great work.

    Hi Jim,

    For your security questions, you might want to see our blog post about Authorization and Encryption.

    I'm not sure I understand the delete issue that you're having.  What folders are you trying to delete and finding you're not able to?  Can you describe the scenario in detail?

    As for increased storage, this is definitely a popular request.  Though we are unable to say at this point if/how space on your Live Desktop will grow, please do add your vote for additional storage to our Wish List.

    Thanks,

    Ben.

    I'm guessing he means that you can't delete folders from the Live Desktop -- UI gets thrown which says something like "deleting subfolders will be available soon"

    Deleting, syncing, restoring all work from a local machine in the mesh all work -- just can't delete a folder from the Live Desktop.
